TENNESEE

It's been a bad week and a half for one school district.

Apr 9, 2007 - James Davis, facing two charges of aggravated statutory rape after being arrested last week, resigned .

Sumner County Schools said two other teachers have also gotten in trouble in the last week and a half, which did not sit well with the Director of Schools.

Candace Eileen Kennedy, a biology teacher at Gallatin High School, was charged with DUI and possessing marijuana over the weekend. She resigned Monday morning after meeting with the Schools Director.

The other teacher in trouble Terry Lynn Shepherd, a special education teacher at Benny Bills Elementary, was charged with four misdemeanors including public intoxication, resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer. Shepherd contested the charges and was suspended without pay.
