A former elementary school teacher in the Indiana Area School District has been charged with sexually assaulting a child more than a decade ago, when the victim was 13 years old.
60-year-old Patrick J. McKee is charged with felony statutory sexual assault and involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a person less than 16 years of age, and with misdemeanor corruption of minors.
Indiana Borough Police say the victim, who is now an adult, reported the complaint to the school district several months ago, and the district immediately notified police and cooperated completely with the investigation. McKee is accused of meeting the victim at a youth sports function and over the course of several months in 2009, grooming the victim, including multiple visits to his home. The victim says the assaults took place over a period of several month.

Grand Forks School Board members during a special meeting Thursday heard the rationale behind an array of recommendations by its Facilities Task Force, charting the district’s future.
The task force’s recommendations include consolidating Valley Middle School and West, Wilder and Winship elementary schools and replacing them with a K-8 school on the city’s north side.
The task force recommended that Valley and West schools should close because renovation is no longer considered to be a viable option.
