Texas Teacher and Male Student, 16

(Atlanta, Texas) A 32-year-old English teacher at Atlanta High School, Melissa Kay Lee, was arrested last week for allegedly having an improper relationship with a 16-year-old male student.

Lee was picked up on a warrant for sexual assault and another warrant for improper relationship between educator and student. Both offenses are second degree felonies.

Atlanta Independent School District Superintendent Roger Hailey said the district could not make any comment on the subject as it was a personnel matter that is under investigation.

Lee was booked into custody at the Cass County Jail and later released on $25,000 bond.

Notably, according to the Atlanta Independent School District website, Melissa Lee (Missy Lee) is married with at least two children. She likes to read and teaching has been her lifelong dream.

Atlanta is a small community about 30 miles SSW of Texarkana.
