Michael O'Brien, an eighth grade math teacher at Christopher Columbus Charter, was"immediately terminated" from his job after his arrest last week.
Michael O’Brien, 48, of Philadelphia, was “immediately terminated” by the South Philadelphia charter school after it learned of the charges from the Philadelphia police, Christopher Columbus CEO Nathan Blodgett said in a letter to the community Tuesday. He said he was “saddened, shocked, and deeply troubled” by the charges.
