A female teacher at an East Palo Alto charter school is facing several charges that she performed sexual acts on two teenage male students over a two-and-a-half-month span last fall, authorities said.

Danielle Matko, 33, of Belmont, was arraigned Tuesday with four counts of lewd and lascivious acts covering three encounters with the boys, who are both 15 years old, in her classroom at East Palo Alto Aspire Phoenix Academy on Garden Street, said San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.

Matko has bail set at $250,000.
