FILE - This photo shows a portion of the Phillips Exeter Academy campus in Exeter, N.H., April 11, 2016. Reports released Aug. 24, 2018, following outside investigations into sexual assault allegations at the prep school identified 11 former staff members who were accused of abusing students over several decades.

A group of alumni is calling on a prominent New Hampshire prep school to more thoroughly investigate decades of sexual misconduct at the school.

The call from the Phillips Exeter Alumni for Truth and Healing follows a report released by the school last month, in which 11 former staffers are accused of sexual misconduct involving students. The report also found that school administrators failed to act on complaints of abuse and, in several cases, never recorded the complaints in personnel files.

The group is calling on the school to hand over all evidence collected in the investigation to an independent third party, investigate cases of student-on-student abuse, and provide more details of administrators who failed to properly handle abuse claims.

The school said it would review the group's concerns.
