Another Laurel Highlands teacher under investigation
A third Laurel Highlands High School teacher is being investigated for possible child abuse.
The investigation was prompted by a tip that was submitted through ChildLine, said Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Kalee Barnhart.
The teacher is the third at the school in recent months linked to suspected abuse.
Two others were charged in March.
Martin Gatti, a social studies teacher, was charged after he allegedly pressured a student to kiss him.
Daniel Cervone, a Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps teacher at the school, allegedly carried on an inappropriate relationship with a student over several months in 2019 and 2020, including an instance of sexual intercourse at the school.
The school board fired Gatti last month, and Cervone resigned earlier this month.
District Superintendent Jesse Wallace did not return a call for comment.
