Lisa Glide is a 35 year old drama teacher at Old Bridge High School in Middlesex County, New Jersey. She was arrested on Wednesday and is being held at the Middlesex County Adult Correction Center in New Brunswick. Bail has not yet been set.
Glide, who lives in Howell Township in Monmouth County, faces second-degree charges of sexual assault and child endangerment for a sexual relationship that reportedly occurred between herself and a male student. Each charge carries the possibility of a 10 year prison sentence.
Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan indicates that an investigation began on November 25 after information surfaced regarding sexual activity between Glide and a teenage boy. The alleged victim was reportedly 17 and a senior in February, when the activity commenced, and he graduated from Old Bridge High School in June.
Lisa Glide began working at the school as a drama teacher in 2004 and also serves as advisor of school productions and plays. Prior to her job at Old Bridge High School, the drama teacher was employed by the Marlboro School District and before that the Jersey City School District.
In a letter sent home to parents today, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Simon Bosco said the district was, “shocked to learn that a member of the high school staff has been accused of this serious crime. Old Bridge High School is committed to providing a safe environment for all children in our care and will continue to cooperate with law enforcement until the investigation is concluded.”
A determination has not yet been made regarding Glide’s future employment at the school but it would appear her teaching days are numbered.
