A social studies teacher at Timberlane Regional High School who was placed on paid administrative leave nine months ago is now expected to face trial next month on simple assault and disorderly conduct charges for allegedly using his forearm to make contact with the shoulder of a former female student.
After repeated delays, the case against 56-year-old Daniel Joyce of Auburn is scheduled for trial on Jan. 14 in Plaistow Circuit Court.
