The Morton School District says the history teacher who was fired but won his job back on appeal called in sick again on Wednesday.

Michael Moulton hasn't been in school since classes started for the year on Monday. Parents have demonstrated outside of school and are planning a protest in Olympia because they want Moulton out of the classroom permanently.

The 56-year-old was convicted of inappropriately touching four girls in 2008 and served 16 days in the Lewis County Jail. The state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction is investigating Moulton, and will decide whether he can keep his teaching certificate.

Morton Superintendent Tom Manke says he is not sure if Moulton's plans to be out of school for an extended period of time.
