School Daze

Drinking and teaching don't mix:

Munson’s blood alcohol content was found to be two times the legal limit, investigators said. Despite this, Sutter County District Attorney Jennifer Dupre said the law does not allow Munson to be held on criminal charges. “It is not illegal to teach drunk,” she said, adding that prosecutors could not prove that Munson drunk-drove to work. “There was the possibility that she drank after she arrived at the school.” The district attorney also could not prove that Munson’s intoxication would “endanger” her students. “We would have to prove that she is unable to care for herself and others, and the investigation didn’t show that,” Dupre said. “We tried because I don’t like the conduct. It’s not acceptable, but it’s, unfortunately, not criminal,” Dupre said, adding that she does not “support anyone teaching drunk.”
