A former Ankeny school teacher is being accused of inappropriately touching a student.

Michael Scott Burrows, 50, was arrested on Sept. 10, on three counts of lascivious acts with a child. The incidents allegedly took place between August 2021 and May 2022, while he was employed as a band teacher at Ankeny Christian Academy, according to a news release from the Ankeny Police Department.

Burrows was listed as a staff member on Ankeny Christian Academy's website on Aug. 4, 2025, according to the online Wayback Machine tool, an archive of web pages. His profile has since been removed from the site.
