Two Teachers Offered
This happened after district officials discovered their inappropriate attempts to lure one of their students into a se*u*l encounter by proposing a foursome.
To make matters worse, one of these teachers had sent the student photos of herself in revealing clothing via his Snapchat.
Alexsia Saldaris, who was in her first year of teaching, along with Jennifer Larson, who had been teaching for 11 years, both left their jobs in April.
Their resignations followed an investigation conducted by officials at Joseph Craig High School in Janesville.
This investigation was reported by WMTV 15 in Madison.
The investigation revealed that both teachers had inappropriately communicated via Snapchat with the male student, whose age remains undisclosed.
Saldaris confessed to sending explicit images, while Larson acknowledged she had sent messages that discussed “cuddling, flirting, and the implication of alcohol.”
The controversy primarily stems from a school trip that occurred from April 7 to 9.
It was during this trip that both teachers sent messages to the student.
They expressed their desire to cuddle and “have fun” with him.
Furthermore, they inquired if another student could join them, as reported by the network, which obtained a summary of the district’s findings.
In a related incident during this trip, Saldaris gave the student the keys to a district-owned van.
She allowed him to drive it around the parking lot, according to the station.
While changing her shoes in the back of the vehicle, she and the student shared “a half kiss,” added the network.
Neither the school district’s representatives nor the teachers responded to requests for comments made by The Post.
On April 9, Saldaris sent the student five photos of herself dressed in underwear and lingerie.
Texts that followed detailed plans for them to meet up that weekend.
However, no further events transpired in the days that followed, as noted by the Daily Mail.
The next day, Larson reported Saldaris to the school administration for allowing the student to drive the van.
That same morning, Saldaris texted the student to end their relationship. He agreed, according to the network.
On April 11, the same administrator who received Larson’s complaint was informed by another teacher about a group of boys.
They were seen laughing at photos on a phone. The teacher was “95 percent sure” the images were those of Saldaris in her lingerie.
Both teachers were placed on administrative leave on April 12, as reported by the station.
Ten days after that, the school board accepted their resignations.
Larson, who also served as the school adviser for the Wisconsin DECA, a program aimed at future leaders and entrepreneurs, admitted to telling a male student that the girl he was dating wasn’t “good enough” for him, according to the Mail.
The Janesville Police Department has launched its investigation to determine if the actions of these teachers broke any laws and if they should face criminal charges.
