Griggs County teacher sentenced

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A Griggs County Central High School gym teacher has been sentenced to 20 hours of community service for supplying alcohol to underage people.

Authorities said 59-year-old Nancy Paintner gave alcohol to an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old at a University of North Dakota hockey game last October.

Paintner pleaded guilty late last month to unlawful delivery, a misdemeanor.

School district officials  say Paintner is still employed at the school, and it will be up to the state Education Standards and Practices Board to determine if further action is needed.
