Fargo teacher resigns after internal investigation of inappropriate conduct

FARGO (KVRR KFGO) – A Fargo teacher has resigned amid accusations that he showed inappropriate conduct toward students.

The school district says John “Jack” Raaen resigned from Carl Ben Eielson Middle School where he was a social studies teacher.

According to the investigation, multiple students reported that Raaen “rubs and touches female students’ backs, shoulders and arms, moves their hair and makes them feel uncomfortable.”

Raaen resigned earlier this month. Raaen had taught in the school district since 2002.
