A Noblesville High School teacher has been accused of inappropriate contact with a student according to a press release by Noblesville Schools on Friday afternoon.
In the statement read, “It has come to our attention that a Noblesville High School teacher has been accused of inappropriate conduct with a minor student. Student safety is our number one priority and Noblesville Schools takes an allegation of this nature very seriously. As such, the teacher in question was immediately removed from contact with students, and based on the investigation of this claim we have begun the process of terminating employment. We also immediately contacted the Noblesville Police Department and are working closely with them on the investigation into this matter.
Noblesville Schools has not released the name of the teacher and added it has “no other information to share at this time.”
NPD Spokesman Lt. Bruce Barnes said the department was investigating the matter and since it was an ongoing case no additional information would be released at this time.
“School officials notified the Noblesville Police Department about this matter on Dec. 17,” he stated. “Investigators from our agency have been working in close cooperation with school officials from the onset.”
Neither the schools nor NPD commented on if the alleged inappropriate conduct happened on or outside of school grounds.
