    New York Post: Teachers in ‘boy toy’ probe: Student-hunk ‘friendship’ probe (Apr 18 2013)

    Two female Long Island high-school teachers were abruptly yanked from their classrooms Monday after being accused of inappropriate contact with two of male students, sources said. Sachem HS North business teachers Donna Newton-McNally, 41, of Centereach, and Melanie Akerberg, 33, of Ronkonkoma, are being investigated by district officials for alleged misconduct with a football player and a wrestler. Sources said a girlfriend of one of the boys found texts from a teacher on his phone and alerted Sachem North principal John Dolan, who ordered a probe.

    Original Greenwich Diva: Sachem HS North teachers Donna Newton-McNally and Melanie Akerberg accused of having inappropriate contact with male students (Apr 17 2013)

    The teachers, Donna Newton-McNally, of Centereach, and Melanie Akerberg, of Ronkonkoma, who are both married, were removed from their classrooms on Monday after someone accused them of having inappropriate relationships with two athletes at Sachem High School North ... It’s unclear whether the relationships between teachers and students went beyond text messages; however, there are reports that one of the husbands confronted one of the boys after the incident became public. It’s unclear whether the confrontation became physical. As of press time legal charges were not filed against the teachers because the boys are of legal consenting age.

    UK Daily Mail: Two female Long Island teachers pulled from classroom for 'inappropriate contact with football player and wrestler' (Apr 18 2013)

    Two female Long Island teachers were pulled from their classrooms earlier this week after they were accused of having inappropriate relationships with some of their male students. Donna Newton-McNally, 41, and Melanie Akerberg, 33, who are both married, allegedly carried on with a wrestler and a football player at Sachem High School North. The two teachers are now being investigated by Long Island district officials.

    Sources told the New York Post that the girlfriend of one of the high school students found a text from a teacher on his phone. The girlfriend then alerted the school’s principal, John Dolan, the sources said.

    The Post notes that it’s unclear whether Newton-McNally and Ackerberg actually engaged in physical behavior with the two seniors, or if they exchanged inappropriate text messages. Police in Suffolk County have not been contacted, as both the students in question are over the age of consent.
