Teacher Arrested for Underage Party House

(Georgetown County, South Carolina) A 39-year-old teacher at South Conway Elementary School, Gina Black, was arrested yesterday for allegedly setting up a vacation house for teenage partying during spring break.

Black has been charged with three counts of contributing to the delinquency of minors.

[S]everal staff members at Conway High School called the Sheriff's Office to report an incident they said happened over the school's spring break, said Neil Johnson, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.

Johnson said three Conway High School students told staff that Black rented a beach house on Waccamaw Drive in Garden City Beach for a group of students and allowed them to use it and drink alcohol during the week of spring break - March 22 through March 29.

Three of those students, all 17, told the Sheriff's Office that they helped pay for the house and that Black knew they were drinking, Johnson said.

Black was booked into custody at the Georgetown County Detention Center and later released on $15,000 bail. She has been suspended from her job.
