GRAND PRAIRIE (CBSNewsTexas.com) A former high school teacher in Grande Prairie is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student.

Cody Bush, who taught at South Grand Prairie High School, was arrested Sunday.

The county said the administration first became aware of the alleged relationship on March 2, 2023, and promptly placed Bush on leave.

Bush resigned from his teaching position and the incident was reported to the State Educator Certification Board.
