West Fargo schools satisfied with policies despite another case of student-teacher misconduct

Although school districts in the Fargo area have policies that define appropropriate student-teacher boundaries, school officials find themselves still working to educate all involved on how to avoid crossing a line, which can be difficult in a world of ubiquitous social media. "I think we can overcome this problem, but we need to really educate everyone in the dangers that lie in the use of social media," West Fargo Superintendent Beth Slette said.

The issue has been highlighted this summer by the case of a former West Fargo middle school teacher, Shannon Moser, who's accused of sending illicit photos and videos to six students and having sex with one of them. Her case is the third high-profile example in recent years of a West Fargo teacher accused of misconduct involving students. The West Fargo, Fargo and Moorhead school districts have similar policies that set the boundaries between students and staff, including social media contact. The policies outline how to report misconduct and potential consequences. "I don't think the policy is bad," Slette said. ...

The three districts revamped or examined their policies in 2015 following the trial of West Fargo teacher Aaron Knodel. Knodel was accused of having a sexual relationship with a student in 2009 and faced five felony charges. During a five-day trial in Cass County District Court, evidence of more than 100 calls to the student was presented in court. However, Knodel defended the communication by pointing to a West Fargo initiative at that time that encouraged mentorship and contact outside of school. Knodel was found not guilty on three of the five charges, and the remaining two resulted in a ...

Last year, Sheyenne High School teacher Elizabeth Doster resigned and her license was suspended for five years by the state board after allegations of partying with her students over the summer surfaced. This summer, Moser was charged in Cass County District Court with eight felonies: gross sexual imposition, sexual assault, two counts of using a minor in a sexual performance and four counts of luring minors by computer. Police began an investigation into the allegations and notified the school district on July 12, a day before Moser resigned from her post as a Liberty Middle School teacher. In 2017, reports ...
