Teacher Charged With Being Drunk in Class

LOUDOUN, Va. (AP) - A middle school teacher has been placed on administrative leave after being charged with being drunk in her Loudoun County classroom.

Sheriff's spokesman Kraig Troxell says officials at Sterling Middle School called authorities to report that reading specialist Mary Ann Livoti, 56, of Hamilton appeared to be intoxicated in a classroom before 11 a.m. with students present.

Troxell says Livoti was arrested and placed in the county's adult detention center jail until she was deemed to be sober. Troxell says the county Commonwealth's Attorney planned to review the case to determine whether more charges are warranted.

Livoti has been a teacher with LCPS for about 13 years, Byard said. She worked with the system from 1978 to 1982, then came back in 1998. She has worked at Sterling Middle School since 2000 as the reading specialist, LCPS spokesman Wayde Byard said.
