The Chief Educator has seemed pretty flush lately. I wonder if he too is making a few bucks on the side?
HILLSBORO, Ore. - A first-grade teacher in Hillsboro is accused of trying to sell a student’s coat on eBay. . . The teacher was arrested Feb. 6 after the mother of a third-grader at the school complained to school officials and Hillsboro police. The mother said she went shopping for a replacement jacket on eBay after her daughter’s Columbia Sportswear jacket disappeared and did not show up in the school’s lost and found. The mother found a seemingly identical coat on eBay and noticed that the seller was from Hillsboro. The mother alerted another bidder that the coat might be stolen, and the other bidder relayed the information to the seller, Logan. Police said Logan asked the other bidder to outbid the girl’s mother. Logan was put on leave a day after her arrest. She denies stealing the coat, saying she got it from a lost-and-found, said Hillsboro police Cmdr. Chris Skinner.
