A Fairfax County school teacher has been charged with misdemeanor assault and battery of a 16-year-old student. Now that we are wending our chilly way into spring, a National Weather Service glance back at February shows that in the snow department, it was no January.
Police said West Potomac High School teacher Eric D. Pittelkau, 64, of Springfield, touched a 16-year-old girl on Dec. 18. They declined to provide more details about the incident. Pittelkau is “on leave effective immediately,” John Torre, a spokesman for Fairfax County schools, said Saturday. The weather service said Saturday that 3.1 inches of snow fell last month at Reagan National Airport. That is little more than half February’s 5.7 inch average, but informal surveys indicated that the shortfall led to no widespread weeping or gnashing of teeth.
Pittelkau turned himself on Friday at 5 p.m. and was served with a summons. He could not be reached for comment. — Martin Weil
