INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (KCTV) - The Independence School District said it is aware of a criminal investigation into one of its employees.

On Wednesday, the district said the employee -- who remains unnamed -- has been placed on administrative leave in accordance with board policy.

“There is no current evidence linking any ISD students to the allegations,” a district spokesperson said, “and the district is working closely with law enforcement and investigators.”

ISD said families possibly associated with the employee received a direct communication about the matter.

This is a developing story. KCTV will update it when more information becomes available.
