Tennille Whitaker, a 40-year-old Nevada elementary school teacher, has resigned after being accused of having sexual relationships with at least two students at the school.

Whitaker, 40, was teaching fourth-grade at the Wells Elementary School in Elko, Nevada. Elko resigned on August 16 after she was arrested June 5 on charges of engaging in sexual relations with two high school students aged 16 and 18.

While the Elko County school district initiated its own investigation in February, the sheriff’s department began investigating Whitaker in October 2016 based on a tip from a parent, who had allegedly seen the teacher and a teen alone behind a closed classroom door.

According to the report from the Daily Caller, Whitaker, a mother-of-two, reportedly had sex with the students on school grounds.

Superintendent Jeff Zander said Whitaker was on administrative leave with pay after her arrest June 5.
