CONCORD, N.C. — A teacher and the principal of a Concord charter school have been arrested after a teacher was accused of inappropriate behavior, according to the Kannapolis Police Department. 

The investigation started on Oct. 4, when Kannapolis Police received a complaint that Concord Lake STEAM Academy Principal Kendra Woods had failed to report a crime. 

She has since been charged with one count of failure to report abuse as well as one count of failure to report crimes against juveniles, police said. Kendra Woods, a 42-year-old Charlotte resident, was taken into custody and brought to the Mecklenburg County Jail. She posted bond Tuesday, and is set to have her first court appearance on Dec. 30. 

Due to the investigation, 23-year-old Tyler Woods, a teacher at the charter school, was also arrested. He has been charged with three counts of indecent liberties with a child, one count of disseminating obscenity to a minor, and one count of permitting a minor to assist in obscenity. 

Tyler Woods, who is not related to Kendra Woods, was taken to the Cabarrus County Jail where he received a $100,000 bond.
