A Greenon teacher who has been at the center of an investigation into sexual misconduct claims has retired.

The Greenon Board of Education approved Larry Yowler’s retirement last week, Greenon Superintendent Brad Silvus said. Yowler was a second-grade teacher and had worked for the district for about 20 years, according to his personnel file.

Yowler was put on paid leave by the district in January after a parent filed a protection order request in Clark County Common Pleas Court alleging that her daughter said Yowler touched her private areas and forced her to sit on his lap during reading time.
