Muscle Shoals City School's Superintendent Dr. Brian Lindsey says a 4th grade teacher from McBride Elementary School is on paid administrative leave until further notice.
The teacher was placed on paid administrative leave November 6.
Lindsey said the school system is doing an internal investigation into an incident and if they feel like it is a criminal matter they will contact police.
Lindsey could not comment further on the teacher nor the incident because it is a personnel matter.
Lindsey said their internal investigation should be done soon.
