The 44-year-old teacher’s May 20 suspension was related to an investigation that involves the teacher and a 16-year-old student.

Basehor Police Chief Lloyd Martley said the department was still in the preliminary stages of investigating the misconduct, which allegedly happened during this school year.

Martley said police had been conducting interviews and were hoping to bring charges to Leavenworth County within a week.
