A fifth-grade teacher at the Treynor Community School District has been placed on paid administrative leave. The Daily Non Pareil reports Mike Travis, who also is an assistant softball coach, is under investigation by the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Jeff Danker said Travis had been placed on leave following allegations of misconduct with at least one student.

Treynor School District Attorney Joseph Thornton told the Omaha World-Herald the issues with Travis do not involve any current students. He said it was basically a “personnel matter,” but declined to comment further.

Danker said an investigation is underway he hoped it will be wrapped-up next week. No charges have been filed.
