The district says they are following district policy and procedures to investigate the issue.
“…the teacher is currently on administrative leave during the investigation. The district can’t publicly comment further as it is a confidential personnel matter, but families can be confident, however; that student safety remains our highest priority.”
A criminal investigation involved a search warrant that was executed Monday night with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation working jointly and no certain timeline was provided.
