The teacher was not identified in the report other than he was a contracted employee who works for the district’s STAR Education program.
The school sent a letter home to parents that an “individual began behaving in an unusual way” and that law enforcement was contacted. The school went on a brief lockdown, the report said.
Following the incident, the children were able to see mental health counselors, the report said.
