A second-grade teacher in Northern California has been arrested on allegations that she drove to work and was teaching class drunk.
The Sutter County Sheriff’s Office says, Monday morning, they got a report that a staff member at Nuestro Elementary School in Live Oak appeared to be under the influence.
Deputies soon showed up at the school and encountered 57-year-old Wendy Munson, who was in the middle of teaching her second-grade class. Deputies noted signs and symptoms of Munson-Swartz being under the influence.
I think alcoholism and drug addiction are diseases that should be handled like disabilities by employers. Dismissal should be a last resort, preceded by insured disability treatments.
