News 9 called Chandler schools to ask about Hitchcock’s employment.

"Chandler Public School District takes the safety of its students seriously and does everything it can to provide a safe learning experience for our students. Because of this, the District was saddened to learn that one of its teachers was arrested on allegations of misconduct with a minor. The teacher is currently on administrative leave and the District is investigating this matter to determine what steps should be taken. Because this is a confidential personnel matter and because law enforcement is involved, the District will not be able to comment further."

OSBI confirms there is a possibility of future arrests in the case.

Court documents have yet to be filed, but Hitchcock's official charges are expected to be released Friday. 

His bond is set at $750,000.
