Elementary teacher suspended after getting caught injecting drugs with her boyfriend

According to North Chungcheong Board of Education on December 26, an elementary teacher identified as 'A' is suspended for injecting drugs with her boyfriend. 

It's revealed that the police recently found 'A' purchasing GHB drug from a peer. The North Chungcheong Board of Education reported 'A' to the Disciplinary Committee on December 20. Even though the amount of drug found with 'A' was minuscule, the Disciplinary Committee decided to give 'A' a 'severe punishment' of one-month suspension as she is a member of the education society.
