Ex-LCHS teacher got $30K settlement

A high school teacher who resigned amid controversy in December received a check for $30,000 in January from the Coeur d’Alene School District.

Jeff Kantola, who taught at Lake City High School, resigned Dec. 5 after being placed on administrative leave in October. One or more parents had complained that Kantola, who is unable to be licensed to treat patients as a chiropractor, was teaching high school students in Coeur d’Alene.

The school district’s expenditures for January include the $30,000 payment to Kantola. The invoice description for the payment is “settlement agreement”/ Maureen Dolan , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
