PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — The School District of Palm Beach County hired a man as a substitute teacher even though he resigned from another school for inappropriate behavior with students, according to a new federal lawsuit.

Students would later complain about the teacher, Corey Pierce, being seen kissing students from Woodlands Middle School. Pierce is now facing two counts of lewd or lascivious battery by authority figure of a school after his arrest in March. Teacher facing charges was rehired despite previous school misconduct claims
