Miller County teacher arrested on suspicion of sexual contact with student

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A teacher in the Iberia School District was arrested Thursday on suspicion of having sexual contact with a student, the district said in a social media statement.

Casey Ann Mason, 28, was booked into the Miller County Jail on Thursday afternoon without bond, according to the Miller County Sheriff's Office website. Charges were not publicly available on the Missouri courts website Friday morning.

District Superintendent Amanda Mace wrote in the social media post that Mason had resigned.

"At this time, I do not have information about whether the arrest will result in formal criminal charges against Ms. Mason," she wrote. "However, Ms. Mason has submitted her letter of resignation from the District and will not be returning to employment with the District."

The district says it is cooperating with investigators.

Mace on Friday declined to give any more information, including Mason's position and years of service.
