(Beaver County, PA) A Dutch Ridge Elementary School teacher got put on administrative leave recently after getting over 200 counts of charges for intercepting communications and invasion of privacy. A letter on Thursday from the Beaver Area School District to families of that district confirmed that Adam Stover, who teaches sixth grade at Dutch Ridge Elementary School will be put on administrative leave for his alleged actions. According to court documents, Stover is facing 129 felony counts of intercepting communications and 129 misdemeanor counts of invasion of privacy after police said he put hidden cameras in his house. According to Beaver Area School District, the crimes of Stover are unrelated to his employment and don’t involve any students or staff, but Stover is being placed on administrative leave “in an effort to provide a distraction-free learning experience.”
