Bryant Public Schools issued a statement on Wednesday noting that they have been made aware of an allegation of inappropriate conduct by a Bryant High School teacher.
According to the statement on the school website, “The teacher is no longer employed by the Bryant School District.”
It continues, “BPS takes all reports of employee misconduct very seriously. On Thursday, March 30, district administration learned of the allegations involving the teacher. The allegations were immediately investigated and appropriate agencies, including law enforcement, were notified. As those agencies continue their investigations, many facts remain unknown.”
And finally the statement says, “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.”
The statement did not go into any detail about what sort of inappropriate behavior was reported. However, there Arkansas Justice Project picked up Mark Cannon’s Facebook post stating that the teacher was possibly in a relationship with a male student. Read the post below, but keep in mind that it is hearsay at this point.
