SNELLVILLE — Shiloh High School’s Teacher of the Year resigned last month after she admitted she had been involved in a sexual relationship with a student, Gwinnett County Public Schools officials said Thursday.
Language arts teacher Keenon Aampay Hall, who began working at Shiloh in 2005, submitted her resignation letter April 20, a day after Gwinnett County Public Schools launched an internal investigation into a student’s claim that Hall lowered his grade after he refused to impregnate her, according to documents provided Thursday to the Post. Hall’s letter said she resigned for medical reasons, school district spokesman Jorge Quintana said.
The 18-year-old student said the relationship began in October, when he was 17, and lasted until the day before spring break...The evidence gathered during the school system’s investigation would have supported a recommendation for termination, Quintana said.
“This obviously is not behavior the district condones,” Quintana said. “Inappropriate personal relationships with students are unacceptable and are a violation of the Georgia Code of Ethics for Educators. As such, this particular incident was reported to the Professional Standards Commission, the agency over teacher certification.”
...Quintana said school police are also investigating the situation, and conversations are taking place with the District Attorney’s Office regarding possible charges. At this time, however, no criminal charges have been filed.
That's Snellville, Georgia, USA.
