A former Smith Academy employee is facing indecent assault and battery charges involving a child.
Prosecutors say 32-year-old Allison Slysz pleaded not guilty on Thursday to two counts involving a student younger than 14.
The district says it placed her on leave after learning of allegations in August 2023, and she later resigned.
A judge set bail at one-thousand dollars and ordered her to avoid contact with the alleged victim.
Her next court appearance is scheduled for December 9th.
