Pottsgrove Plans To ‘Look Into’ Student YouTube Vids

POTTSTOWN PA – A series of three videos posted to YouTube earlier this month by a Pottsgrove High School student, which purport to show a substitute teacher allowing members of a chemistry class there to toss cereal and hit a small ball with a soda bottle, will be investigated by Pottsgrove School District administrators, its superintendent said Monday night (June 27, 2011)

“We’ll certainly look into it,” Superintendent Dr. Bradley Landis said. “We’ll talk to some of the students, and definitely follow up” he said.

Landis said he was unfamiliar with the videos that were the subject of a Sanatoga Post story published last Saturday (June 25). It described the content, posted June 10 at the YouTube account of a female student who called herself “The Twisted Ultimatum,” and included her accompanying comments: “This is what happens when we have a sub at pottsgrove high school.”

The Post story gained high readership during the past four days, including that of several school board members. Landis’ comments were in response to questions posed by The Post following Monday’s board meeting.
