The response refused to say if any of those who have faced disciplinary action have lost their jobs in case they could be identified.
The Courrier report:
A freedom of information investigation has revealed five Fife Council teachers have faced disciplinary action over inappropriate relationships with their pupils since 2002. The local authority refused to confirm if any of those charged lost their job as a result of their actions.
