   NEW LONDON, Wis. (WBAY/Gray News) - A Wisconsin elementary school   
   teacher has been arrested after being accused of using cocaine on   
   campus.   
      
   Laurie Laubenstein, 58, is facing a charge of possession of cocaine with   
   a modifier for possession of a controlled substance on or near certain   
   places.   
      
   According to a criminal complaint, authorities said someone made an   
   anonymous tip about Laubenstein, a teacher at Lincoln Elementary.   
      
   The tipster said a school resource officer had noticed changes in   
   Laubenstein’s behavior.   
      
   The tipster also told police they had seen Laubenstein frequently go   
   into the bathroom with her purse and had found bloody tissues and white   
   powder in the restroom area.   
      
   The tipster told police that the school principal was informed about the   
   concerns but did not take them seriously.   
      
   Authorities said a school resource officer took a sample of the white   
   powder to the police station. It tested positive for cocaine.   
      
   The school resource officer returned to the school on Feb. 12 with a   
   police K-9 and searched Laubenstein, finding cocaine in her purse and   
   coat pocket, the complaint said.   
      
   According to the New London Police Department, investigators interviewed   
   Laubenstein, who told them she had started using cocaine in August.   
      
   Police said she also admitted to using cocaine that day before school   
   started and after school, as well as in the classroom and teacher’s   
   lounge bathrooms.   
      
   Laubenstein told police that she always cleans up after herself and   
   would never put her students in danger.   
      
   The school district sent a letter to parents and families notifying them   
   of the investigation and saying that at no point were students or staff   
   in harm’s way.   
      
   Officials said the situation remains under investigation.
