WHAT HAPPENED?
The release prompted evacuation and shelter-in-place orders, disrupted schools and businesses, and raised concerns about chemical exposure. Our firm is reviewing the circumstances of the incident and the losses suffered by people in the affected communities.
At 10:48 p.m. on Tuesday, October 20, Toledo Fire & Rescue ordered an evacuation within a one-mile radius of the affected area on Progress Avenue. A broader shelter-in-place order followed early Wednesday morning. Officials instructed people in the shelter-in-place area to remain indoors, close windows and doors, turn off ventilation systems that bring in outside air, and keep pets inside. Temporary shelter was made available at Shoreland Elementary School.¹
MC Tank Transport identified the chemical involved as glycidyl methacrylate, also known as GMA, an industrial chemical used in plastics, paints, and coatings. MC Tank Transport was acquired by The Kenan Advantage Group in March 2025.²
According to 13 Action News, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency reported that the release came from a 5,500-gallon tank and resulted from an error during a transfer of material. Reporting Wednesday morning described a continuing release as emergency personnel assessed the situation. Toledo Public Schools and Washington Local Schools canceled classes because of the incident.³
The chemical release also raised immediate health concerns. Officials described potential effects including burning of the eyes, nose, mouth, and skin, along with headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea, and vomiting from overexposure. Residents reported eye and throat irritation.⁴
The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies GMA as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” That classification identifies a cancer hazard; it does not establish the cancer risk associated with this particular incident. The risk from an exposure depends on factors including its type and extent.⁵
An evacuation or shelter-in-place order can impose substantial costs on families and businesses. Affected residents may face hotel, meal, and transportation expenses, missed work, medical expenses, and disruption to the use of their homes. Businesses may experience closures, interrupted operations, and lost income. Our investigation includes these potential losses and claims involving symptoms of chemical exposure.
If you were affected, retain receipts, medical records, evacuation notices, employer communications, and records of business interruptions or lost income. These materials can help document what happened and support an evaluation of potential claims. Continue to follow official emergency instructions and consult the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department for public-health updates.

All inquiries are handled with strict confidentiality.
What Happened?
According to a Cincinnati police criminal complaint, Barton, 43, allegedly engaged in unlawful sexual conduct with a 16-year-old student at the school in late August 2026. Investigators stated that the allegation was based on the student’s detailed statement and was corroborated by school surveillance video and Barton’s own statements. Because Barton is a school administrator and the student was enrolled at the school, the charge was elevated to felony sexual battery under Ohio law. Police released Barton’s booking photo because investigators believed there could be additional victims.²A Cincinnati police detective reportedly told the court that investigators believe Barton groomed the student during the 2025-26 school year before the alleged contact. Barton was subsequently indicted on five counts of sexual battery and one count of grooming involving that student.³In October 2026, the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office announced additional charges in a separate case involving four more students, including six counts of sexual battery and two counts of grooming. Two of those students were reportedly 15 and two were 17 at the time of the alleged conduct.⁴ Prosecutors allege that Barton used his position to have inappropriate physical contact with students, in some instances allegedly checking school records to locate students and removing them from class to private locations. Prosecutors also allege that he took some students shopping, drove them to and from school, and sent them money through Cash App.⁵Cincinnati Public Schools has stated that Barton was removed from duty and will have no contact with students while the criminal and district investigations proceed.⁶ Barton has pleaded not guilty to the initial charge, and the criminal charges are allegations that have not been proven in court.
Did the School Receive Earlier Warnings?
One of the central questions in any school abuse case is what school officials knew and when. The mother of another Aiken student reportedly told a local news outlet that Barton called her son into a private office in January 2026, despite not being assigned to him, and touched him inappropriately. She says she reported the incident to another assistant principal at the time and asked that it be handled immediately.⁷ It is not yet clear what action, if any, was taken in response, or whether that allegation is connected to the pending charges.Schools have legal obligations to protect students, to respond to reports of sexual misconduct, and to supervise the adults they place in positions of authority over children. Our investigation is focused on whether those obligations were met.
Who May Have a Claim?
Current or former Aiken New Tech High School students who experienced inappropriate touching, contact, or sexual conduct by a school administrator
Students who were removed from class, isolated in offices or other private locations, given gifts or money, or offered rides by a school administrator
Families who reported concerns to school staff about an administrator’s conduct with students
Parents and guardians whose children have suffered emotional distress, academic disruption, or other harm as a result
Potential Legal Claims and Compensation
Civil claims are separate from the criminal case and are brought on behalf of the student and family, not the State. Depending on the facts, potential claims may include claims under Title IX, which requires schools receiving federal funds to respond appropriately to known sexual harassment and abuse; federal civil rights claims; and state-law claims for negligent hiring, supervision, and retention.
What Families Can Do Now
Your child’s safety and well-being come first. If your child has disclosed abuse or you have concerns, consider connecting your child with a counselor or medical provider experienced in working with young people.
If you have information related to the investigation, contact the Cincinnati Police Department.
Preserve text messages, social media messages, Cash App or other payment records, emails, and any communications with the school.
Write down what your child has shared, along with dates, locations, and the names of any staff members you contacted.
Consider speaking with an attorney before giving recorded statements to the school district
You do not need to wait for the criminal case to end to understand your rights. Deadlines for civil claims, particularly claims involving public school districts, can be strict, so early legal review can help protect your family’s options.
