Tucson police are investing allegations by several elementary school students that they were inappropriately touched by a staff member, officials said.
The Grijalva Elementary School employee was "immediately removed from any contact with students on Wednesday and no longer works for the district,"said Stefanie Boe, a Tucson Unified School District spokeswoman.
School officials and Tucson police are investigating the incident and believe they've identified all the students involved, Grijalva Elementary principal Timothy M. Grivois-Shah, wrote in a letter sent to parents on Thursday.
Because of privacy interests of the involved students and the ongoing police investigation, the school can't provide details of the allegations, Grivois-Shah said.
The district is asking any parents or students who believe they have new information to come forward and notify authorities, Grivois-Shah said.
