Judge finds former schools chief Amberg guilty in White case

URBANA – Former Urbana school district superintendent Gene Amberg admitted in criminal court that he mishandled reports of abuse by a former grade school teacher against his students.

In a stipulated bench trial Monday, Judge John Kennedy found there was evidence to prove Amberg, 58, of Urbana, guilty of failure to report suspected abuse to the Department of Children and Family Services suspicions that Jon White engaged in conduct with female students designed to satisfy the former Thomas Paine Elementary School teacher's sexual urges.
