TAMPA -- Teachers at two Hillsborough County high schools have been pulled from classrooms amid allegations of inappropriate conduct with students.

A soccer coach at Newsome High and a physics teacher at Plant High are under investigation, according to school officials.

At Newsome High, an assistant principal received a call yesterday from a parent claiming that boy's soccer coach Ronald Lewis, 37, "was having an inappropriate relationship with a student," school spokeswoman Linda Cobbe said.

She said the charges involved a female student. Lewis, a computer lab manager who has worked at the east Hillsborough school since August, is suspended with pay pending the outcome of an investigation.

Due to the nature of the allegations at Newsome, school officials turned the case over to law enforcement.

At South Tampa's Plant High, physics teacher Christopher Gillis, 22, was removed from the school this morning following allegations that he sent inappropriate emails to a female student.

An assistant principal at Plant learned of the emails yesterday after running into the student in the hallway, Cobbe said. After asking how she was doing, the administrator heard about the concerning emails.

Gillis was Plant this morning, but pulled from the classroom so district officials could investigate, Cobbe said. School officials removed a laptop from his home, but do not know how long the investigation will take.

Gillis began teaching with the school system in August.
