Two female high school teachers have been forced to resign after being accused of setting up a foursome with students.
Alexsia Saldaris left Joseph Craig High School in Janesville, Wisconsin on April 22 and Jennifer Larson left on May 14 after an investigation by the school district.
Both teachers were on a school trip with a male student from April 7 to 9 and the investigation revealed incriminating Snapchat messages they sent him.
Saldaris admitted to sending the student five photos of herself in lingerie and kissing the student during the trip, according to the summary of the district report.

Larson admitted to exchanging messages with the student “about cuddling, flirting and the implications of alcohol.”
In the messages sent by both teachers, the student was told they wanted to cuddle and “have fun” and asked if another student could join in.
Saldaris then met with the student on April 9 and gave him the keys to a school district van used on the trip so he could “do laps” in the parking lot.
While she was changing her shoes in the back of the van, the couple kissed, according to the report’s summary.
That evening, she sent the racy photos to the student and made plans in Snapchat messages to meet up the following weekend.

Nothing else happened between the trio that weekend, but the day after the trip, things started to unravel.
Larson reported her colleague to Craig High Principal Alison Bjoin for allowing the student to drive the van.
Saldaris responded by sending the student a Snapchat message that morning telling him the “relationship” needed to end, the report summary said.
Then, on the morning of April 11, another teacher confronted a group of students laughing around a phone and saw Saldaris’ photos.
The teacher went straight to Bjoin and said she was “95 percent sure” that the photos they were laughing at were of Saldaris in lingerie.
School officials confronted the teachers when they learned more about what happened, and both admitted to what they had done.
The teachers were investigated by officials from Joseph Craig High School in Janesville, Wisconsin, and the district, and resigned
On April 12, they were placed on administrative leave and the school district began an investigation.
Larson was Craig High’s advisor for the Wisconsin DCEA, a program for future student leaders and entrepreneurs, which Saldaris participated in as a student.
The report details how a teacher who knew about the Snapchat messages and the teachers’ behavior during the trip told several “prominent” local residents, who then notified the school district.
Larson also admitted that on another occasion she told a male student that a girl he was seeing wasn’t “good enough” for him.
The Janesville Police Department is investigating to determine if a crime has been committed.
