BARROW COUNTY, Ga. — An Apalachee High School teacher was relieved of their duties on Wednesday after they allegedly made a threat toward a student in class.

A letter sent to the parents of Apalachee High students, obtained by 11Alive, reads, "A student reported to our school administrators that a teacher made a threat toward a student during class."
