(EAGNEWS) — UNION, S.C. – A student stole teacher Leigh Anne Arthur’s cell phone, found a nude picture on the device, then sent the image to other students through text messages and social media.
The situation prompted school officials to take action — against the teacher — by giving Arthur an ultimatum: either resign or the district will initiate the termination process, Union County schools superintendent David Eubanks told The State.
“I think we have a right to privacy, but when we take inappropriate information or pictures, we had best make sure it remains private,” he said. “Students had access to very inappropriate pictures of a teacher.”
