Substitute teacher brings Taser into school, no charges expected
ST. LOUIS (AP) - A substitute teacher at a St. Louis elementary school was removed from the classroom after bringing a Taser to class.
Christina Garland, a principal at Kehrs Mill Elementary, sent a letter explaining the situation to parents.
The letter did not say how the Taser was discovered Wednesday in a fifth-grade classroom. But Garland said the teacher was immediately removed and another substitute was brought in.
The Rockwood School District is investigating.
