FITCHBURG, Mass. (AP) — The superintendent in Fitchburg says an elementary school classroom aide has been suspended with pay over racy modeling photos.
Superintendent of Schools Andre Ravenelle tells the Sentinel & Enterprise that photos of 23-year-old Kaitlin Pearson were sent to the school Friday by an anonymous source. Ravenelle says the school is investigating whether Pearson’s second job affects her ability to work with children.
Pearson has worked as a full-time classroom assistant in one of the school’s special education programs since November after graduating from college last year. She has appeared scantily clad in multiple amateur shoots, including for ModelsMania magazine in September.
Pearson said in a Facebook message to an Associated Press reporter that she can’t comment at this time due to legal issues.
