February 15 2024- The Manila School Board in Jonesboro, Arkansas, voted to terminate an agriculture teacher, Aaron Rathel, following his arrest in December 2023. Superintendent Jason Evers recommended Rathel’s termination after he was arrested and charged with 3rd-degree assault on a family/household member and interference with emergency communication. The incident occurred around December 23 and was related to Rathel having an affair with a female Manila School District employee. The termination was prompted by the arrest and allegations of inappropriate conduct at the school.
