An elementary school teacher in the Clark County School District has been arrested.

In a statement, the district’s police department said it arrested Manuel Ayala-Tovar, 33, on two counts of lewdness with a child. Ayala-Tovar was booked into the Clark County Detention Center.

The CCSDPD said “the charges stem from an investigation that was initiated at Cortez Elementary School in November 2024. Ayala-Tovar has been employed as a teacher in the district since September 2022. He has been assigned to home since the investigation began per the terms of the negotiated agreement with the bargaining unit.”
