In the days after a South Windsor High School teacher was suspended for assigning his students an erotic poem, the school system is shedding light on the suspension of a second teacher who was placed on leave in December.
Paul Jussila, of Manchester, was placed on paid administrative leave in mid-December "in connection with certain matters related to [his] conduct as an employee of South Windsor Public Schools," the superintendent's office wrote to him in a letter dated Dec. 17.
Jussila is listed on the South Windsor High School website as an applied technology teacher.
The school system is investigating, and Jussila is forbidden from entering school property or contacting students while he remains on leave. Asst. Supt. Colin J. McNamara said in the Dec. 17 memo that Jussila's suspension is indefinite.
South Windsor school officials have not elaborated on the allegations against Jussila.
David Olio, an English teacher at South Windsor High School, was suspended last week for asking students to read what officials are calling a "highly inappropriate" poem during class. The poem has been identified as "Please Master" by Allen Ginsberg.
