Authorities say a male sixth-grade teacher at Dawson County Middle School remains on leave as investigators look into allegations of sexual misconduct with a student.
According to Dawson County Sheriff's Lt. Tony Wooten, the parent of a sixth-grade girl told authorities Feb. 24 that "a teacher at school had inappropriately touched her ... at the end of the day at school" on Feb. 23.
The teacher has not been arrested or charged, Wooten said, although an investigation is under way.
He added that the teacher's name could not be released until the investigation is closed.
