STHS teacher placed on leave for unknown reasons

Paul Kushner

For the second time in five years South Tahoe High School math instructor Paul Kushner has been placed on administrative leave.

In 2013 it had to do with him looking at inappropriate websites of scantily clad women while he was at work.

No one in the district is saying why the tenured teacher is out this time or for how long. He is on paid leave.

Kushner also directs the choirs at the high school, which are almost always only comprised of young women.
