Two high school business teachers in Wisconsin were forced to resign after district officials found out they’d been trying to seduce one of their students by offering him a foursome.
One of the teachers is also accused of sending scantily-clad photos to the student’s Snapchat account.
Alexsia Saldaris, a first-year teacher, and Jennifer Larson, an 11-year veteran, left their jobs in April after an investigation by officials at Joseph Craig High School in Janesville unearthed the racy messages, according to WMTV 15 in Madison.

Both allegedly admitted to inappropriately Snapchatting the unidentified male student, whose age has not been released.
Saldaris acknowledged she’d sent the risqué pictures and Larson admitted she’d sent messages about “cuddling, flirting, and the implication of alcohol.”
Much of the scandal revolves around a school trip that lasted from April 7 to 9 — which is when the district says both teachers sent the student messages saying they wanted to cuddle and “have fun” with him.
They also asked if another student might join.
During the same encounter, Saldaris apparently gave the keys to a district van to the student and let him take it for a drive around the parking lot, the station said.
As she was changing her shoes in the back of the vehicle, she and the student shared “a half kiss,” the network added.
On April 9, Saldaris also reportedly sent the child five photos of herself in her underwear and lingerie. And further texts revealed plans for them to meet that weekend.
But nothing else happened over the following days, the Daily Mail said.
A day later, Larson reported Saldaris to the administration for letting the student drive the van. The same morning, Saldaris texted the student saying their relationship needed to end. He agreed, the network said.
On April 11, the same administrator who heard Larson’s complaint got another report from a teacher about a group of boys who were standing around, laughing at pictures on a phone.
The teacher said they were “95 percent sure” that the photos the kids were gawking at were the shots of Saldaris in her underwear.
The district placed both teachers on administrative leave April 12, the station said.
Ten days later, the school board accepted their resignations.
Larson, who was also the school advisor for the Wisconsin DCEA, a program for future leaders and entrepreneurs, also admitted to telling a male student that a girl he was seeing wasn’t “good enough” for him.
The Janesville Police Department is conducting its own investigation to see if the twisted teachers broke any laws, and should be hit with criminal charges.
