    This article is a "must read". It contains lots of information about other teacher sex cases in the Nashville area, including the one referenced in its title, which happened at a "party thrown by teenagers in January [at the home of a Nashville attorney], which involved students at some of Nashville’s most prestigious private schools and has already resulted in at least one firing and possible criminal charges."

    The City Paper: After three months, still no charges in teacher sex case (April 25 2012)

    On Wednesday, Feb. 8, an anonymous letter arrived in the mail for Glencliff High School Principal Clint Wilson. That letter alleged that math teacher Kyra Bryant, 29, was engaged in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old female student.

    Wilson would not comment on the case but said when allegations of this nature are made, he contacts his school resource officer, the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services, Metro Police and a Metro Nashville Public Schools human resources officer. He stated that when a teacher is accused of such activity, they must physically report to the Metro Schools office on Bransford Avenue. and it is decided there whether to place the teacher on paid or unpaid leave. The school has no discretion in the matter and the investigation is left to the law enforcement authorities.

    Bryant chose to resign her teaching position when she reported to the Metro Schools headquarters and on Friday, March 2, she was indicted by a Davidson County grand jury on four counts of statutory rape by an authority figure. While some time elapsed before she was indicted, the investigation to this matter was handled by law enforcement authorities from the moment the school was informed of the allegation. The investigation by multiple agencies is ongoing.
