Sources: Gateway teacher resigns after DUI crash on school property

MONROEVILLE, Pa. — A Gateway High School teacher has resigned one day after he was involved in a DUI crash on school property.

Monroeville Police Chief Doug Cole confirmed that his department was called to the high school for a car accident Tuesday morning.

Wednesday confirmed police filed charges against the district employee involved in an accident in front of the high school.

Sources told Channel 11 News that employee was a teacher who was drunk when he crashed his car into a handrail by the high school’s baseball field.

According to Gateway School District’s website, the teacher involved had been with the district for eight years.

Sources said Tuesday that this isn’t the first time the teacher has been under the influence while on school property. Records from 2015 show Murrysville police arrested the same teacher for driving under the influence.

“I don’t really want somebody like that around the kids. If they get help, then they're trying to better themselves,” local schoolteacher Kathleen Brodie said.
