Fayette County

School System officials are investigating allegations that students were

allowed to view inappropriate material on the Internet in a computer class,

a spokesman confirmed Friday.

The incident

occurred March 20 at Whitewater Middle School, school system spokesman

Melinda Berry-Dreisbach said, and the school is conducting an internal

investigation.

"We do

know some inappropriate material got on a computer screen in a computer

lab," she said. "We don't know how it got there."

Whitewater's

resource officer is interviewing students who were in the class at the

time, she added. The substitute teacher who was in charge of the class

has also been interviewed and taken off all substitute lists in the county

pending the outcome of the investigation.

Berry-Dreisbach

said that when the officer completes his inquiry, which should be in a

couple of weeks, he will turn his findings over to the district attorney

for review.
