AR 6th Grade Teacher Terminated Over Pornographic Photos

WOODLAWN, AR - An Woodlawn School District teacher lost her job Thursday evening after students reported seeing pornographic images on her computer.

District Superintendent Billy Williams recommended the school board terminate 6th grade teacher Kristi Record for having pornographic photos on her school issued desktop and iPad.

Angry parents say they went to school district and state board of education leaders asking them to investigate when their kids told them they saw pictures of naked ladies in Mrs. Record's class.

The superintendent says the first incident occurred in November 2012 when Record's husband reportedly called students over to check out nude pictures on her iPad during an after-school teaching session.

The second time he says Record admitted to stumbling upon the photos in class and deleting them, one by one. Parents argue she did not do enough to prevent students from seeing them.

"For a teacher to expose him to that when I try hard to keep him from that, it upsets me," a parent said outside of the meeting.

Record claims she doesn't know where the photos came from and she only discovered and deleted pictures of women in bikinis, not fully naked, pornographic images. But a district tech expert wiped her hard drive and found evidence of deleted graphic images there and in her Dropbox account.

Record confirmed she had possession of the computer for four years and the superintendent says she violated policy by allowing someone else to possibly access her school issued equipment and download the pictures.

The school board spent nearly three hours in executive session before voting to terminate Record.

I'd rather my kids see the human form and be educated on sex, instead of seeing all the violence on tv.

And her next call should be to a divorce attorney to dump her butthead husband.

So what is happening to her husband? Why was this strange man allowed to be around these students? Several students indicated the husband is the one who showed the kids the pictures, but the teacher was the one who was deleting the images. Something doesn't seem right.

I sure hope she has a computer expert relooking at her computer- all kinds of things can be sent to you and you not know the content or even ever open them, and if she said she deleted some, then it rather confirms what she said- I don't know her but this sounds like a witch hunt. The computers offered to children have tons of ads that home services don't have - some would think bathing suits are porn but they aren't just because 98 percent of the population can’t wear them and don't look sexy in them. Kids exaggerate and prank teachers as well as older brothers and sisters. I've had sweepstakes I thought were on the up and up to only open them and find they were not exactly but along the lines of unacceptable sites- portrayed as simple woman’s magazines, Better Homes and Gardens, Good Housekeeping ..... Let’s all hope our limited computer knowledge isn't getting good people fired or ruining their lives.

Sounds like the hubby was looking at porn when she wasn't around.
