Quoted from Associated Press today, 4 August 2005 - AP - BEND, Ore. - A state board voted to publicly reprimand a Central Linn High School teacher and football coach for licking the bleeding wounds of several student athletes. The Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission Wednesday placed Scott Reed on two years' probation. Details of the case and censure will go on the commission Web site and be sent to all Oregon school districts and to departments of education nationwide. Reed must attend a class on the risks of blood-borne pathogens within the next two months and furnish the commission with written verification of his attendance. Reed agreed to "stipulated facts" that included him licking blood from wounds on a track team member's knee, a football player's arm, and a high school student's hand. It was not clear why he licked the wounds.
