Altoona teacher under investigation

An Altoona Area High School teacher is under investigation and has been placed on leave, according to police and the school district.

“I can confirm there is an investigation involving an Altoona Area High School teacher. However, I can not release any details at this time,” Altoona police Sgt. Matthew Plummer said this morning.

The teacher has not been charged.

Altoona Area School District spokeswoman Paula Foreman also confirmed the teacher is on “administrative leave.”

The school district followed its typical protocol for putting an employee on leave when allegations were made against the teacher, Foreman said.

The teacher was placed on administrative leave with pay sometime last week, Foreman said.

The Mirror is working on the story and will provide an update when more information becomes available.
