HARTFORD (WKZO) -- A tenure hearing will be held next month for a Hartford High School teacher accused of having a sexual relationship with a student.

Christopher Carr is still employed by the district because he's covered by tenure law, but the school board voted to fire him in October.  He is on paid leave after being accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a 15-year-old female student during the last school year.

Hartford Police are still pursuing a criminal investigation.
