In a statement, Lewisville ISD said the district, law enforcement and Child Protective Services investigated reports of “concerning behavior by the teacher but were unable to substantiate an inappropriate relationship between the teacher and a student at the time the concerns were reported.”

According to the district, the teacher was immediately placed on administrative leave. She submitted her resignation in February 2023 after having started her employment at Killough High School in August 2022.

Grapevine police said they do not believe there are any other victims, but the investigation is ongoing.
