A Manchester elementary school teacher is on paid administrative leave after police say she held an underage drinking party at her home in Chester.

Steffany Maloney, a first-grade teacher at Gossler Park Elementary School, is charged with a misdemeanor, after police were called to her home early Sunday morning for complaints about a loud party.

Police say they found a half-dozen underage people passed out or intoxicated.

The teens were released to their parents.

Maloney is scheduled to be arraigned in Derry District Court on July 1.
