Police say a Burnsville High School teacher has been jailed and is accused of having sexually explicit conversations with a student.

BURNSVILLE, MN — Police say a Burnsville High School music teacher has been jailed and is accused of having sexually explicit conversations with a student. The teacher was arrested just before noon Monday on the high school campus. The teacher has worked at Burnsville High since 2013.

Dakota County jail records show that the teacher was arrested and booked on probable cause of using the internet or a computer to distribute material that relates or describes sexual conduct with a child, the Star Tribune reported:

A school resource officer was tipped off about the electronic communication that was “sexually explicit” and had occurred over a period of a couple weeks. The officer notified the school district and began investigating, Smith said.
The school district also received a complaint last Saturday and began to investigate, said spokeswoman Ruth Dunn.
