Virginia Teacher Allegedly Intoxicated in Class

(Bumpass, Virginia) Earlier this month, a Louisa County Middle School special education teacher, Kathleen Bernard, was arrested for allegedly being intoxicated while teaching.

Authorities indicated that her blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit.

Now the sheriff's office and the school system are working together to resolve this issue.

“I tell all of our parents right now to be very patient. We have taken the matter very seriously. It is being handled as a personnel issue therefore we can't comment much on it, but we're working very closely with the Louisa County Sheriff’s Department to take care of the matter,” said Dr. Dallas Dance, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction, Louisa Co. Public Schools.

Being hammered in the middle of the day at work likely indicates a deep-seated problem requiring some form of rehab.
