Teacher struck off for sexual misconduct working with youth

from Checkpoint

A former teacher struck off for sexual misconduct was working at an organisation for vulnerable youth for roughly five months, before a ruling detailing her offending was made public. The Teaching Council's Disciplinary Tribunal has found April Nordstrom had a sexual relationship with a student at Whangarei Girls' High School and behaved inappropriately towards three other students at Horowhenua College in Levin. The years the students attended the schools have not been disclosed by the tribunal to protect their identities. Reporter Finn Blackwell spoke to Lisa Owen.
