PRINCETON, W.Va. — A Princeton High School teacher is free on bond after being charged with fraudulently listing herself on a student’s emergency contact information.
State police troopers said Katelyn Lester, 36, of Lerona, falsified the document so she could check a student out of school. She did so multiple times, troopers said.
Troopers said Lester also “allegedly forged the student’s mother’s signature on a permission slip for an out-of-state field trip.”
Lester is charged with four counts of forgery and uttering and four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
She was arraigned Thursday in Mercer County Magistrate Court and released on bond.
The investigation into the case began last November.
