The private Gordon School in East Providence has opened an investigation into allegations of sexual assault dating to the 1970s. According to a brief statement issued by the current head of school, the allegations involve several former students and a former faculty member. The school says no current administrators, faculty or staff were employed at the school at that time. The school says law enforcement has been contacted, though it is unclear whether any criminal investigation has begun. Founded in 1920, the Gordon School is unaffiliated with any religious organizations. School officials bill it as the first coeducational private school in the state. It now serves pre-school through 8th grade students.
