Investigation of allegations against teacher continues
by Misty Maynard

The relative said the students were taped around their feet and a piece of tape was placed over their mouths as the entire class watched. The number one priority, Moore said, is to protect the students, and to protect his staff, which includes protecting the privacy of the teacher targeted in the complaint.
