BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. — A Boulder Valley School District teacher is on paid leave after allegedly injuring a student at Monarch PK-8, the school principal said in a letter to parents Thursday.

In a letter to parents, teachers and staff, Monarch PK-8 Principal Robin Techmanski said teacher Matt Hill had been charged by the Louisville Police Department with child abuse – knowingly/recklessly causing injury other than serious bodily injury, a misdemeanor, “following an incident with a student."

The principal said the school took immediate action upon learning about the incident by notifying police and placing Hill on paid administrative leave.
