Substitute teacher charged in sex-with-student case
By Christine Byers
UPDATE: 3:57 p.m.
Dunklin R-5 School District officials said today that a 14-year-old Senn-Thomas Middle student and a substitute teacher who has been accused of having a sexual relationship with him knew each other for several years before she became a substitute teacher.
Teresa Engelbach, 21, of Pevely, was charged with three counts of statutory rape and one count of statutory sodomy in connection with the case, according to a news release from the Jefferson County sheriff's office.
Engelbach began working for the district in September 2006 and has taught at all three of its schools, including Herculaneum High School and Pevely Elementary, and she recently volunteered to become an assistant middle school track coach, according to a press release issued by the district.
No other students are believed to be involved, said Assistant Superintendent Stan Stratton.
She is no longer being used as a substitute teacher or as a volunteer assistant track coach and has been banned from school property.
Stratton said the woman had earned a substitute teaching certificate from the state, which requires a background check. The check came back clean before the teacher was hired, he said.
"We try to have all of these procedures in place to prevent these things from happening," he said. "But unfortunately in the society we live in, we can't totally prevent this."
