Teacher Guilty in Underage Drinking Case

(Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) A 56-year-old former English teacher at South Fayette High School, Christine Kosik, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct this week for allowing a teen drinking party in her home.

The prosecution dropped 11 more serious charges of corruption of minors in exchange for Christine's plea. The prosecution is also pursuing charges against Christine's husband John for the December 30th party.

An estimated 40 to 50 teenagers attended the party at the Kosik's home and police were alerted when it became unruly. Reports indicated that kids were puking in the front yard.

Notably, Christine Kosik was a semifinalist for Pennsylvania's 2007 Teacher of the Year Award. However, she hasn't decided whether she'll resume her teaching career. It's currently unknown what punishment she will be awarded for her guilty plea.
