A Bushwick high school art teacher was fired for allegedly sleeping with a student and plying multiple students with pot and booze off campus. According to the Post, Bushwick Community HS art teacher Giovanna Vasconez was found to have had sex with one student, and "fooled around" with another. She also gave the two students, along with a third, pot and booze.
Investigators in the Office of the Special Commissioner of Investigation found that she began regularly hanging out with the students at her ex-boyfriend’s house in 2009. While Vasconez admitted spending time with the students, she denied any inappropriate behavior. But an independent arbitrator found the students’ stories to be credible, and Vasconez was fired this past fall.
However, no criminal charges have been filed against her, unlike in similar cases. Last November, a female Brooklyn middle school teacher was arrested and charged with the rape of a 14-year-old student. And last summer, another female Queens high school teacher was arrested for allegedly having sex with her 16-year-old student.
