Lyon Elementary School was issued a summons this week for simple battery in connection with an alleged incident involving a student with a disability, according to the Covington Police Department. Gladys Holliday turned herself in on Monday and was released later that day, according to Covington Police Chief Kevin Collins, who said he could not share more details about the alleged incident that occurred on Oct. 23. According to Steve Alfonso, the St. Tammany Parish Public Schools interim superintendent, an administrator saw a teacher using "an inappropriate behavior management technique with a student."Afterwards, the administrator notified the principal, who contacted the school resource office. The parent of the student was also notified."All established protocols and procedures were followed, and we cooperated fully with the Covington Police Department's investigation," Alfonso said in a statement. Holliday has been placed on leave, Alfonso said. Holliday's arrest comes after months of heightened scrutiny on allegations of abuse at Lyon Elementary and the St. Tammany Parish Public School system. In September, the principal and assistant principal of Lyon Elementary pleaded guilty to charges of failure to report abuse of a child.In the fallout, the school system's superintendent, Frank Jabbia, abruptly retired, and the board appointed Alfonso as the interim superintendent. </div></body>
