Loudoun County, VA- A Loudoun County teacher was arrested today for public intoxication and having an open container of alcohol inside the school.
A Loudoun Sheriff’s Office School Resource Officer was notified by school personnel shortly before 2 p.m. December 1 that a teacher at Sterling Elementary School was possibly intoxicated. During the course of the investigation it was determined the teacher, Claire M. Bucher 25, of Potomac Falls, was intoxicated and had alcohol in her possession while on school property. Bucher was charged with drunk in public and possessing or drinking an alcoholic beverage in a public school or on public school grounds during school hours. Bucher remains held until sober at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center. EVERY SINGLE YEAR EVERY SINGLE YEAR |

I don't know what she was thinking. Perhaps she wasn't? I am an elementary teacher and all I am wondering is about how she could make such a poor decision.
The elementary school has a resource officer? Why did you write, "EVERY SINGLE YEAR"? |
| Did we have one last year? I read the story and thought, huh, it's been a little while since we had one of those incidents. |
Every school has a resource officer. I think one officer may be shared among several elementary schools, but middle and high school have their own assigned officer. |
Is this specific to Loudoun? I'm in an elementary (FCPS) and we don't have one. |
Are you perhaps thinking of this incident in Fairfax County last month? https://wtop.com/fairfax-county/2017/11/police-fairfax-co-substitute-teacher-drunk-work-passed-desk/ Or this case in Fairfax County? https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/South-Lakes-High-School-Teacher-Stole-Beer-with-Student-Police-Say-396703881.html Why are you fixated on LCPS? |
I guess? I don't know what FCPS does. I live in Loudoun. |
LCPS has had several similar incidents over the years. I don't think it's a systemic issue, but as a parent reading the news my reaction was also, "Again?" |
| Does our explosive growth have something to do with this? We build new schools every single year and have such a hard time hiring teachers. I assume we have more new/young teachers than FFX. I give FFX the win in this category as I don't recall any of our teachers being passed out in class or helping a teen steal beer. |

Honestly, this is less dire than sexual abuse of children in schools by teachers.

A fourth grade teacher at Creighton’s Corner Elementary School in Ashburn was charged with drunk in public during the school day June 1, 2011.

I mean, who said it wasn't? We can keep more than one idea in our head at the same time. |
