A suburban school district northeast of Atlanta said Wednesday it is investigating social studies teacher Stephanie Hunte, saying another teacher complained after she saw students wearing sheets in a Lawrenceville middle school last week.
Hunte did not immediately return a call for comment.

Separately, a north Georgia teacher was recently placed on administrative leave after allowing four students in a high school classroom some 75 miles north of Atlanta to wear Klan-like outfits for a final project.
