problem until after he had completed his internship at Greene County Tech.
However, anyone who works in our school must follow the law and all appropriate
standards. Interns are informed upon being assigned to GCT that they must abide
by the code of ethics and standard of conduct required of all teachers and this
situation has been reported to the Arkansas Department of Education as a code
of ethics violation"
