Hartford Teacher Facing Allegations Of Inappropirate Relationship With Student

A Hartford High School teacher is a step closer to being fired over allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a former student. The school board voted unanimously last night to remove tenure for the teacher, whose name has not been released. The teacher has been placed on leave pending the outcome of the investigation by Hartford police. A computer hard drive and hand written notes have been removed from the school. Police say they were contacted in mid-October by someone at the school who wanted them to look into rumors the teacher and student, who no longer attends Hartford schools, had an inapproporiate relationship. Now that the board has voted to remove tenure, the issue is in the hands of state Tenure Commission.
