Ill. teacher accused of giving girls alcohol, pot
FOX LAKE, Ill. — A northern Illinois teacher faces felony charges after allegedly giving two teenage girls marijuana, alcohol and prescription drugs in exchange for work around her home. Kym Krocza was arrested Tuesday on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She is free on bond.
Lake County authorities said the girls attend Grant High School in Fox Lake, where the 41-year-old Krocza teaches algebra and calculus. She’s been suspended from the school.
Police said Krocza met the girls in her neighborhood before they started attending Grant High and approached them about helping her with laundry and cleaning.
In exchange, she allegedly gave them pot, alcohol and Zoloft, an antidepressant.
A message left at Krocza’s home wasn’t immediately returned Wednesday.
