Normangee ISD released the following information to the public on Friday:

One parent reported “inappropriate communication on social mediaand inappropriate physical contact between a teacher and their child at the Leon County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) last Tuesday, October 8. A district police investigation began.

The employee has not been allowed on campus since October 16, when he reported for ‘Staff Development’, was reprimanded and asked to leave again.

Normangee ISD said the investigation uncovered additional allegations, which are being investigated by district officials and LCSO.
