The Central Blood Bank issued a statement apologizing to the students and their families and saying the unnamed employee had been indefinitely suspended pending an internal investigation. Officials said the employee had violated a ban on using flash drives and a requirement for a supervisor to review presentations in advance.

A ban on using flash drives? I hope that it is only for HIPAA privacy regulation. Wanna bet that the "supervisor" get a whack as well?

Norwin High officials also apologized in a letter to parents and said the police department in the Westmoreland County township about 25 miles east of Pittsburgh had been notified along with the district attorney's office.

In the age of zero tolerance this guy (girl?) could be up for child porn prosecution, and endangerment of 500 minors. Ouch!

"We find this incident inexcusable and are taking every measure we can to ensure that the investigation is carried out with the utmost fidelity," the letter said.

Save some money for your fidelity budget. The employee screwed up.

Detective Sgt. Jeffrey Bouldin said he planned to interview administrators, staff and the employee.

Making sure that no publicity ever goes to waste among our civil servants. I bet that he can drag this out for weeks, reviewing all of the flash drives for dirty pictures. Wonder if he will ask students if the sex ed classes have been any good?

Superintendent William Kerr said a second blood bank presentation for the junior class was canceled. He said the organization has made presentations on blood donation for years with no problems. "We find it quite unacceptable and inappropriate, and safeguards will be taken into consideration in the future," he said.

How about, always use a fresh USB drive for public presentations? Or perhaps figure out that perhaps seniors have passed all of your sex ed courses already, and that you should stop pontificating in front of the cameras?

Senior Ethan Dobranski, 17, said the photos were the No. 1 topic of conversation among students all day. "No one's ever going to forget this," he said.

I bet that blood donations are WAYYY up after this presentations!

How is this any different than the employee who gets fired for surfing porn sites at work?

(S)He was using "official" equipment to transfer porn photos.

No matter what you do in your home life regarding this, it doesn't come into the office if you don't use the office equipement.

The flash drive was a "shortcut". And someone messed up big time.
