In December 2011 a social studies teacher within the school system by the name of Samuel Fies, was charged with sexual misconduct with three female students. Two of the alleged victims were reportedly enrolled in special education classes, and the other was seventeen years of age. The investigation alleges molestation and sexual contact. The misconduct is alleged to have began with one student as young as fourteen years old. Fies faces six to twenty years in prison for one of the charges. Fies is currently awaiting trial.[1]
