TEXARKANA, Texas -- Liberty-Eylau Independent School District is investigating what it calls "allegations" made against a substitute teacher.
Interim Superintendent Jeff Wright addressed the matter in a letter posted Thursday to the district's website.
"We are aware that allegations were made regarding a substitute teacher at Liberty-Eylau Middle School. As soon as campus administrators became aware of the situation, the substitute was immediately removed from the substitute pool," the letter states.
The district has yet to disclose the nature of the allegations.
The district's Police Department is investigating the matter along with the Texas Education Agency and local law enforcement.
No other information was immediately available.
"The safety and security of our students is the district's top priority. We appreciate the cooperation we have received from students and parents as we allow this investigation to continue," Wright said in the letter.
