During his short tenure at Long County High School, former assistant band director and choral activities director Michael Loredo had a number of problems that caused his supervisors concern, including discussing a female student’s menstrual cycle and taking two female students in his personal vehicle on an unauthorized overnight trip to Savannah, according to his Long County School System personnel file. Despite those problems, the personnel file, which the Coastal Courier obtained Thursday under the Georgia Open Records Act, indicates that school administrators had no reason at the time to believe Loredo was engaging in sexual misconduct with students — a crime with which he was charged April 21. Loredo, 26, whom the Brantley County Jail lists as having a Waycross address, has been charged with one count of sexual assault against a person in custody in Brantley County and another count in Long County.
