An Estill County Schools employee is under investigation by law enforcement after the district received an anonymous tip.

“We promptly passed that tip to law enforcement, and the employee will not have any interaction with students while their investigation is under way,” district officials said in a Facebook post.

We take student safety as our first priority, and the district will take appropriate action once the process is complete.”

Law enforcement officials did not immediately respond to questions from the Herald-Leader Monday seeking further elaboration or specific details.
