The BCPD and Lakeview Public Schools were informed on Oct. 29 of allegations of inappropriate conduct involving a Lakeview elementary school substitute teacher and student.
Throughout an investigation, the BCPD determined the conduct was not of a physical nature and, instead, centered around inappropriate communication between the substitute teacher and student.
