ALLENTOWN, Pa. (WPVI) -- A teacher who led students in several walkouts in the Allentown School District, is now out of a job.

The board of trustees unanimously decided to fire Michael Frassetto from the Medical Academy Charter School in Catasauqua.

Frassetto is facing charges of corruption of minors.

Officials say he staged the walkouts back in September.

Hundreds of students took part to call for better treatment of minorities and more school supplies.
