A Science teacher of Spring High School in Texas, Deanna Higgins, was finally charged with improper relations with a student and sexual assault of a child on Monday (October 12). Deanna had been placed on paid administrative earlier this year while an investigation of these allegations brought to the district officials was conducted.

“The Spring High School Administration and Spring ISD Police Department immediately began investigating the allegation after receiving a report from a third party,” a letter to parents reads. The teacher had been working at the Spring High School since January 2008, a year before she was suspended. No more details have been released.
