Court documents sent to multiple outlets stated that Marino "had been collecting child pornography for about 10 years and that he had not touched anyone."

Marino's neighbors told ABC that he has lived in the same house for more than 30 years.

The Long Island Press confirmed that "Marino worked as a substitute teacher at Flushing High School for four days between May and June of last year."

Agents also found two unlicensed handguns in Marino's home, according to multiple reports.

Marino was scheduled to be arraigned at federal court in Central Islip on Wednesday afternoon, according to the Long Island Press.

So Lu Scala never had any children so it might be safe to say you have never been to a PTA meetingRead More or a School Board meeting or a budget presentation so then you would have no idea how the money is spent good or bad. I'm sorry that your neighbors make more than you but like anything else you get what you pay for there are educational requirements for teaching and administration jobs, I'm sure you would be happy if all the school personnel could be replaced by minimum wage earners or better yet we could close all the schools after all you have been out of school for 40 years so you don't need them anymore, but thats not how it works. Why is always the uninformed that speak loudest and longest?

A bit of a surprise considering kids come home with a supply list a mile long (and average $40-$75).
