A 31-year-old woman has been arrested and accused of an "inappropriate relationship" with a student, New Iberia Police say.

Hailey Gros was booked with indecent behavior with juveniles, jail records show.

A release from NIPD states the investigation centered on an incident that happened March 17.

We've reached out to the school system for more information, and here's what they sent us:

Iberia Parish School District has been made aware of the arrest of one of our part-time elementary school employees for alleged indecent behavior involving juveniles. The individual was immediately placed on inactive status and we are fully cooperative with law enforcement as they conduct their investigation. The School District is conducting its own investigation as well.

The safety and well-being of our students is our highest priority. While we are limited in what we can share due to this ongoing investigation and privacy laws, we want to assure our community that we take these allegations very seriously.

We are committed to maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment for all students.

We encourage anyone with relevant information to contact our local law enforcement or Oliver Winston at (337) 365-2341.
