A band director in a suburban Philadelphia high school was suspended after allegaions of sexual misconduct with a teenaged student.
Bridgett Szychulski, who teaches at Central Bucks High School South, had been charged with statutory sexual assault and related counts on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old teacher allegedly became involved with a male student when she was teaching at Lenape Middle School in 2012, said Superintendent David Weitzel.
Officials alleged Szychulski of having sex with the 14-year-old three times and also sent him lewd pictures on text.
