Two high school teachers in the US state of Wisconsin were forced to resign after district officials found out they’d been trying to seduce one of their students by offering him a foursome – with one of the duo even sending scantily-clad photos to his Snapchat account.
Alexsia Saldaris, a first-year teacher, and Jennifer Larson, a teacher of 11 years, left their jobs in April after an investigation by officials at Joseph Craig High School in Janesville unearthed the inappropriate messages, according to WMTV 15 in Madison.
Both allegedly admitted to inappropriately Snapchatting the unidentified male student, whose age has not been released, The New York Post reports. Ms Saldaris acknowledged she’d sent risque photos and Ms Larson admitted she’d sent messages about “cuddling, flirting, and the implication of alcohol”.
The conduct allegedly occurred during a school trip between April 7 and 9, when district officials said both teachers sent the student messages saying they wanted to “cuddle” and “have fun” with him.
They then allegedly asked if another student might join, according to WMTV 15.
During the same encounter, Ms Saldaris apparently gave the keys to a district van to the student and let him take it for a lap around the car park, the station said.
As she was changing her shoes in the back of the vehicle, she and the student shared “a half kiss”, the network added.
Neither representatives for the school district or the teachers responded to The Post’s request for comment.
On April 9, Ms Saldaris also reportedly sent the teenager five photos of herself wearing lingerie. Further texts revealed plans for them to meet that weekend – though nothing else happened in the days that followed, the Daily Mail reports.
A day later, Ms Larson reported Ms Saldaris to the administration for letting the student drive the van. The same morning, Ms Saldaris texted the student to say their relationship needed to end – to which he agreed, WMTV 15 said.
On April 11, the same administrator who heard Ms Larson’s complaint got another report from a teacher about a group of boys who were standing around, laughing at pictures on a phone.
The administrator said they were “95 per cent sure” that the photos the students were gawking at were the shots of Ms Saldaris in her underwear.
The district placed both teachers on administrative leave on April 12, the station said.
Ten days later, the school board accepted their resignations.
Ms Larson – who was also the school adviser for the Wisconsin DCEA, a program for future leaders and entrepreneurs – also admitted to telling a male student that a girl he was seeing wasn’t “good enough” for him, the Mail added.
The Janesville Police Department is conducting its own investigation to see if the teachers broke any laws and should be hit with criminal charges.
