TUNKHANNOCK, Pa. — Charges against a Wyoming County teacher have been dismissed for a second time.
Ellen Kuzma, a gym teacher at Tunkhannock Area High School, was charged in March with sexual assault, corruption of minors, and related charges. Those were all dismissed in April.
Charges of sexual contact with a student, stalking, and harassment were refiled in June but were dismissed at a hearing on Tuesday.
Kuzma remains on unpaid leave from her job at the Tunkhannock Area High School.
In a statement, Wyoming County District Attorney Joe Peters said his office plans to review any appropriate and viable options, noting that they "believe in the factual basis and legal sufficiency of the evidence."
