A southwest Wisconsin physical education teacher is accused of physically harming a student. According to a report, 30 year old Kirby Grutz of Mineral Point, faces a charge of one count of physical abuse of child-recklessly cause bodily harm following an incident last month at Iowa-Grant Elementary-Middle School. A release offers few details of the Nov. 21 incident, only describing it as “involving a staff member and students” at the school in Livingston. Charges were referred to the Iowa County District Attorney’s Office following an investigation. The school district is conducting an internal investigation of the matter and is not divulging any additional information. The sheriff’s department is also refraining from releasing additional information.
