District 186 has sent recorded phone messages to Lanphier High School parents to alert them to a police investigation now underway, involving a teacher’s alleged inappropriate relationship with a student.
The teacher is now on a paid leave of absence while both Springfield police and the school district look into the case. The district is not releasing any information about the teacher, and says for now the case is a confidential personnel matter. But a report on ABC Newschannel 20 indicates the teacher is a female.
