Pa. teacher charged after police find high school students with beer in her home: report

A western Pa. high school teacher is facing several charges after several students were found drinking beer in her home in July, according to a story from KDKA.

Police told the news station that Heather McKallip, 52, a health and physical education teacher from the Burrell School District, located in Lower Burrell, is being charged with corruption of minors, child endangerment, furnishing alcohol to minors, and disorderly conduct.

According to the story, police went to McKallip’s Lower Burrell home on July 24 after a report of a noise complaint.

When officers arrived, they found a group of about 18 minors, some of them holding beers.

McKallip reportedly told police that she had just arrived home and wasn’t aware that the party was taking place, KDKA said, citing a police report.

One of the students, however, reportedly told officers that McKallip had been in the house all night.

All of the students were given breath tests by police, KDKA said, all were found to have been drinking, and all were cited for underage drinking.

McKallip is scheduled to have a preliminary hearing next month.
