(Radio Iowa) – A western Iowa teacher has resigned after being accused of sending inappropriate photos to students via social media. The IKM-Manning Community School District Board of Education accepted the resignation of 24-year-old Cassidy Kraus earlier this week. Kraus was placed on leave by school officials on August 21st, just days before the new school year started, after the district received a complaint alleging she had shared inappropriate photos with students.

A district investigation found that Kraus had sent multiple photos of a sexual nature in May 2023 via Snapchat. Kraus resigned on August 25. No criminal charges have been filed, but authorities say an investigation into the allegations is ongoing.
