Teacher who received photo reassigned
Ohio
NEWARK – A Newark High School teacher who reportedly received unsolicited and explicit messages from a student has been reinstated and reassigned.
Community Outreach Coordinator Seth Roy said the teacher was placed in the curriculum department for the remainder of the school year and is not in the classroom on a day-to-day basis.
The teacher was verbally put on leave March 16 after telling school officials he received the images from a student in one of his classes. The student reportedly friended herself on a photo application on the teacher's phone while the teacher was unaware.
Prosecutors and police have previously said the teacher would not face any criminal charges related to the incident.
