West MI teacher accused of stealing student’s medication

IONIA, Mich. (WOOD) — An Ionia Public Schools teacher is on leave following allegations that she stole a student’s medication. Now she’s facing felony charges.

The student’s father says he wants the teacher out of the classroom for good.

“I was pretty upset about it,” said the dad who wanted to be identified as Mike. “The biggest thing is she (his daughter) had to go without medication at home.”

Ionia Public Schools Superintendent Ron Wilson tells News 8 that high school special education teacher Jessica Swain was put on leave in late November, after Mike noticed his 14 year old’s Adderall missing.
