Irondequoit HS teacher resigns after alleged relationship with students

An Irondequoit High School teacher has resigned after it was alleged that she had inappropriate relationships with two students, according to a statement released Thursday by the West Irondequoit Central School District.

The statement reads:

"The teacher was immediately released from employment as soon as the behavior was verified by the district. The district will file the necessary reports with the New York State Department of Education."

The teacher, who was not named by police or district officials, was temporarily assigned to the high school and had received "excellent references and passed the criminal background checks without any negative reports."

The Irondequoit Police Department confirmed investigating a reported incident involving a teacher and a student, but because the student is 17, no criminal charges were filed, according to Sgt. Mark Bean.

The teacher is in her early 20s, Bean said.

It was not clear why the police did not have information about a second student.
