Charges filed yesterday against a math teacher in Brooklyn were the latest in a string of five cases said to have involved criminal or inappropriate behavior by school employees that have stunned parents and school officials.
The teacher, Joanna Hernandez, 27, surrendered to face misdemeanor charges of kissing one of her students, a 15-year-old boy, in an empty classroom at Intermediate School 55 in Brownsville during school hours, the police said.
Ms. Hernandez's arrest came a day after Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein issued an extraordinary warning to principals throughout the city. "I will use all means at my disposal to see that sex offenders are removed from our school system and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," Mr. Klein said in an e-mail message.
He warned faculty members to be on the lookout for school employees who make lewd or inappropriate remarks, and those who have sexual or romantic relations with students. Mr. Klein also called for a tightening of state laws that he said now make firing sexual offenders "far too cumbersome and protracted."
A spokesman for the Department of Education, Keith Kalb, said last night that Ms. Hernandez, a teacher in the city school system since 2001, had been reassigned to administrative duties away from students.
He said each of the other school employees facing charges of sexual activities, including two other women in their 20's, had either resigned or been reassigned away from classroom duties. Pending formal disciplinary proceedings, he said, "We will move to fire every one of them."
The succession of charges, brought by the New York Police Department and Richard Condon, the special schools investigator, began last week.
The police said another teacher came upon Ms. Hernandez and her student kissing on April 12.

VOUCHERS....VOUCHERS...VOUCHERS, for parents to choose the kids schools where teachers would have to have their history searched for inappropiate behaviour. I
As Ms. Hernandez is an oppressed "person of color," her photo is not printed.
Taking advantage of a 15 year old boy sux...but kissing makes one a sex offender ?
End Co-ed education and females teaching male students
Sodomites/and friends can teach in their own private schools
imo
That's Hillary Town and Hillary Educational System in all its glory.
Ummm. I may regret saying this, but I don't think its the "co-ed" issue as much as the low standards of hiring in our public schools. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't seem to be a problem in private schools.
Let's all hurry back to living in caves and burning witches. Ah, the good old days.
Well,it looks like the staff at that school is no shirking their duty to provide"Human Services"!
The NYC teachers' union will NEVER allow a FEMALE PUERTO RICAN teacher to be fired. She may be reassigned to a job with a higher pay rate but they'll never let the school system fire her. Why have a union run the school system if you are going to let the administration do anything that annoys dues payers?
But the liberals tell us that sexual urges are uncontrollable...at least for them.
I can't help wondering why Ms Hernandez is the only suspect singled out by name...
What is with this trend of relatively young female teachers hooking up with their students, and, second, where were they when I was in high school?
This would never happen if public school teachers were allowed to marry . . .
Oh you bad bad boy. You will have to stay after school all this week!
Sodomites/and friends can teach in their own private school.
That may be the case someday and they will want vouchers like the rest of the liberal welfare "gimmee" crowd.
We're getting closer to that than you think.
Right. Let's go back to the good ol' days when 'male' boarding school teachers had their pick of young boys. Yeah, that would be better.
