A Phillips High School special education teacher was arrested on school grounds. He was charged with possession of methamphetamine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia, according to Superintendent Rachel Hoffman.
"To say that this is shocking is an understatement. We are devastated by this news," the superintendent said.
The teacher has been placed on leave and will not be allowed on school property at this time.
Superintendent Hoffman added, "The district is fully cooperating with law enforcement officials as they conduct their investigation, which is ongoing. We do not believe that any alleged criminal activities involved any Phillips students.
