Andre is alleged to have had the fluid delivered to the school, where he then gave it to the student.

An investigation began after the student’s parent reported the teacher’s actions to the authorities.

The Cottonwood Verde Tech School administrators cooperated fully with the investigation, the Cottonwood Police Department said.
