Miller has been placed on administrative leave by Evergreen Public Schools, where he has worked since 1986.
Authorities say the physical education teacher inappropriately touched a female student multiple times at Ellsworth Elementary School in Vancouver.
Officials say the girl is now 13 and no longer a student at the school.
Miller was arrested at his Vancouver home Aug. 9 and granted supervised release. His trial is scheduled for Nov. 4.
