Teacher Resigns, Accused Of Soliciting A Minor
POSTED: 10:33 am CDT July 26, 2006

SANTA FE, Tenn. -- A former sixth-grade teacher is accused of
soliciting a 14-year-old male student for sex.
Andrea Jill Rail, 27, resigned from her position at the Santa Fe Unit
School on Monday and was arrested on Tuesday. She was released on
$10,000 bond, but faces two counts of soliciting a minor.
Ex-Teacher Faces Child Sex Charges
Authorities said Rail allegedly asked a 14-year-old boy for sex and
that the alleged incident happened sometime in the last school year.
The Maury County Sheriff's Department started investigating Rail after
the teenager's mother contacted them.
Teacher Was Previously Reprimanded
A reprimand letter in Rail's personnel file reveals the principal of
the school wrote a complaint about her relationship with the student
in August 2005. At this time, Rail was instructed not to have contact
with the boy.
However, in November during a middle school lock-in, the letter reads
that Rail's actions were particularly disturbing because she was told
to stay away from the student.
The letter does not get into detail about what allegedly happened, but
Rail was once again ordered not to have contact with the student and
forbidden to conduct school fundraisers.
The Director of Schools said they immediately informed Maury County
detectives of this incident, but Rail was not fired because the school
was told investigators could find no evidence of a crime.
Channel 4 has learned that e-mail conversations between Rail and the
student are currently being examined by the district attorney's
office. This data will be compared to information on Rail's home
computer that is currently being analyzed by the Tennessee Bureau of
Investigation.
