Logan, OHIO

We don't understand either.

July 2, 2008 - Bernard C. Montgomery, 58, a Logan High School teacher, was in court for a pre-trial hearing. He was charged with four counts of contributing to unruliness for allegedly taking two students out of school and taking them to Florida. Without, it seems, the knowledge or consent of their parents or the school.

According to an affidavit from a search warrant executed Dec. 19, Logan High School Principal Jim Robinson was first alerted by a parent about possible inappropriate relations between Montgomery and two students in early December.
The defense attorney challenged the lack of specificity.

Judge Rick Wallar ordered Hocking County Prosecutor Larry Beal to amend his original complaint against Montgomery by Thursday.

July 3, 2008 - Out with the old, in with the new
Recent allegations against a teacher of the Logan-Hocking School District regarding his accompanying students on a trip out of state were brought to the attention of the school district administrators by students and parents. Immediately, school administrators contacted local police and informed them of the allegations and provided them with all information so they could thoroughly investigate the matter.

After the allegations arose, the teacher did not return to school but was placed on administrative leave. On Dec. 28, the teacher submitted his resignation and will not be returning to work.

State corrected. Thank you.
