The Bryant School District released a statement Wednesday in response to allegations of teacher misconduct.
“Bryant Public Schools has been made aware of an allegation of inappropriate conduct by a Bryant High School teacher. The teacher is no longer employed by the Bryant School District.
"BPS takes all reports of employee misconduct very seriously. On Thursday, March 30, district administration learned of the allegations involving the teacher,” the release states.
Sgt. Todd Crowson with the Bryant Police Department confirmed that allegations had been made against a teacher and that the situation is currently under investigation by the BPD.
The name of the teacher was not being released by either the district or the police on Wednesday.
“The allegations were immediately investigated and appropriate agencies, including law enforcement, were notified. As those agencies continue their investigations, many facts remain unknown,” the Bryant School District stated.
“While we will continue to cooperate with all appropriate agencies, we are unable to provide further comment at this time.
Our expectation is for all students to be safe and supported. Parents and students should always notify administration immediately with any information concerning the health and safety of students.”
Bryant School District Director of Communications Devin Sherrill said in an email that no further information on the incident was available.
