The Fayette R-III School District is investigating an incident involving three of its educators, including a high school principal, that occurred early Friday at Central Methodist University.

According to a Fayette Police Department report, officers were dispatched to Central Methodist at 12:59 a.m. Friday after a disturbance of the peace was reported.

The report said Brad Cavanah, 33, Matt Brooks, 31, and David Lawson, 28, were drunk, hollering and harassing students.

According to the Fayette R-III staff directory, Cavanah is the principal of Fayette High School and Brooks is a teacher at Clark Middle School. Lawson was not listed in the directory but was referred to as an educator with the district in the police report.

Central Methodist has chosen not to file charges against the men, said Don Cullimore, director of public relations and publications at the university.

Fayette R-III School District Superintendent Darryl Pannier said that the incident is being investigated by the district.
