High school coach accused of licking student's wound
HALSEY -- A state panel is expected to investigate a high school coach who acknowledged licking a student's wound.
The Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission decided to look at the case after a parent complained that Central Linn High School coach of Scott Reed's "repeated inappropriate behavior."
The 34-year-old was disciplined for licking the bleeding knee of a female athlete. The school district placed Reed on probation and required him to take a "bloodborne pathogens" course.
The student whose knee was licked told police it happened after Reed had given team members a pep talk about a coach licking and healing the wounds of injured players.
Reed asked permission, then knelt down and licked the girl's knee.
An athlete says Reed seemed to be "joking around" and the licked athlete was not offended.
