The Henderson Police Department made a release Thursday morning that it was investigating an incident at Henderson County High School involving a staff member and a student.
HPD was alerted to the matter by Henderson County Schools officials.
Henderson County Schools are being cooperative with the investigation, and this is an ongoing and active investigation, said HPD.
Sgt. Bill Russell, the public information officer with HPD, said it could be a couple weeks before any more information is released.
He said the investigation has just started and there are a lot of students, teachers and parents that will need to be interviewed.
He also said that when dealing with minors, a parent’s permission must be granted before an interview is conducted, which can also add time to the investigation.
To ensure a thorough and fair process, police will not be providing additional details or comments until the investigation is complete, said a release from HPD Thursday morning.
Further information will be released as it becomes available, the release said.
