ORWIGSBURG -- Prosecutors in Schuylkill County have decided to withdraw charges against a teacher accused of sexual misconduct.

Lisa Barnes, a teacher in the Blue Mountain School District, was facing sexual assault charges after a 13-year-old student accused her of touching him inappropriately back in March.

On Thursday, prosecutors filed a motion not to pursue the case against Barnes.

Barnes has been on administrative leave and there is no word if or when she will return to work.
