A teacher at Alder Creek Middle School was arrested after drug paraphernalia was found in her car.
A school administrator contacted the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office to report that he noticed, what was believed to be, drug paraphernalia in the teacher's vehicle after seeing her in her vehicle prior to school starting. After an investigation, authorities arrested Brynne Fletcher for possession of a controlled substance.
Fletcher began employment in North Clackamas School District as an instructional assistant in 2012 before being hired as a Learning Specialist at Alder Creek Middle School in 2014. The required fingerprinting and background checks completed by the district did not reveal any criminal record.
Fletcher, a teacher who works with a very small group of students on specialized instruction, recently submitted her resignation prior to this incident effective at the end of the 2016-17 school year.
Fletcher is on administrative leave pending further investigation.
The district will provide support to the Alder Creek community and will provide support and continued instruction to each of the students impacted by this incident. North Clackamas School District wants all students to feel safe.
Fletcher is charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance -- Heroin and Possession of a Controlled Substance – Methamphetamine.
