Texas Teacher Accused of No-No with Student

(McCamey, Texas) A 32-year-old teacher at McCamey High School, Vanessa Zuniga, surrendered to the Upton County Sheriff yesterday to face charges that she allegedly engaged in an improper relationship with a student.

"All you can do is apologize," Superintendent Donny Wylie, said.

"The community of McCamey is a very good place, it's a great place to live. We've got great schools. Sure any time this kind of situation happens, in any school district, you must over come it."

School officials aren't releasing the students age, but state officials say it doesn't matter.

"Texas has a law that is outlined in the penal code, even if it's consensual and even if the student is of legal," Suzanne Marchman, a spokesperson for the TEA says it is still a second degree felony punishable by up to 20 years behind bars and up to a $10,000 dollar fine. [sic all]

Zuniga was booked into custody. She resigned her teaching position last week.
