The school's principal sent out a letter to families on Friday letting them know that the employee, identified in an affidavit as Jarrell Williams, was arrested after claims of alleged inappropriate contact with a minor.
According to the affidavit, a 16-year-old said during an interview that she had a sexual relationship with Williams. Police allege he admitted to it.
