Teacher fired when student finds nude photos on school-issued computer

PITTSBURGH — A substitute teacher for Brashear High School is off the job Thursday night after a student found nude pictures of her on a school computer.

School officials say the substitute logged onto her personal account on a computer reserved for student use and forgot to log off.

A 10th-grade student tried to log onto the computer and saw more than four nude pictures of the teacher.

The student’s father called Channel 11, saying he was upset because he hadn’t heard anything from the school about the incident until the child showed him the letter that was sent home with students.

“Bathtub pictures. Top and bottom. Full body shots,” he said. “I'm ticked off, I'm angry, I'm hurt.”

“When my child came on and went to go log on, her and one of her friends, she seen the nude pictures,” he said. “She could've did other things – sent it throughout the school to other students. Humiliated the young lady. But she sent it to her mother and then she went and alerted a teacher.”

TRENDING NOW:

Channel 11 called the school district for answers. They told us a fairly new substitute teacher logged into her personal email or photo account on a student computer but didn’t log off. She is now out of a job because of it.

The school sent a letter home with students about the incident, saying, in part, “Parents and guardians of the students directly involved in the issue have been contacted.”

But this father is upset, saying he should have heard from school officials directly, saying, “I'm still waiting. I'm being patient. Will we ever get that call? Will they accept responsibility?”

Right after Channel 11 spoke to that father, we called school officials and asked them if they called the student’s parent about the issue after it happened.

They said they spoke with the parents of the students who reported the incident. Channel 11 called the parents to verify that and are waiting to hear back.
