CSDistrict probes teachers’ past

A Lake City High School science teacher is on administrative leave after the parent of a student reported concern about the teacher’s professional background.

State of Washington Department of Health records show Jeff Kantola, who is in his second year teaching at Lake City, was a chiropractor licensed in that state until 2004, when his license was revoked, two years after it was suspended.

At the time of his suspension in 2002, he was charged with violating Washington law regarding professional conduct by license holders, specifically for having a sexual relationship with a patient and another sexual relationship with an employee. The details of those relationships are outlined in a stipulated agreement signed by Kantola in 2002/Maureen Dolan, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
