An Alabama school teacher has been arrested after authorities say she sent a nude photo to a high school student.

Carrie Beerbower Jackson, the wife of Winfield High School Principal Keith Jackson, was arrested Wednesday, according to a joint statement issued Thursday by the Marion County District Attorney’s Office and Winfield police. She is listed on the school’s website as a math teacher.

Court records state the incident happened on or about Jan. 1 when Carrie Jackson sent a nude photo to the male student. She is charged with school employee distributing obscene material to a student. The charge is a misdemeanor.

She surrendered to the Marion County Jail at 9:54 a.m. Wednesday and was released Thursday after posting $3,000 bond.

Carrie Jackson was hired as middle school teacher in August 2019 and then transferred to the high school because of a shortage of math teachers. She was previously employed as a teacher in Tuscaloosa when her husband was the assistant principal at Northridge High School. Keith Jackson was hired as Winfield’s principal in June 2019.

Winfield City Schools Superintendent Chris Cook said school administrators first became aware of allegations of inappropriate behavior on Friday, Jan . 10. He said their investigation confirmed the information they had received and, as mandated by law, reported the allegations to police. Carrie Jackson resigned Wednesday morning.

“We are deeply distressed by these events,” Cook said, “and we stand ready to support students and families by providing counseling and other services they may need.”
