SALAMANCA, N.Y. (WIVB) - Tuesday night, the Salamanca School Board voted to suspend science teacher Shane Riethmiller and appointed a long-term substitute to take his place for the rest of the school year.

News 4 was in court last Friday when Riethmiller faced a judge on charges of sexually abusing a 16-year-old female student. Prosecutors say the two exchanged explicit pictures of themselves using their cell phones off school grounds.

The Salamanca Schools Superintendent sent a letter home to parents regarding the case against Riethmiller. You can read that letter here.
