A St. Johns County School District teacher is under investigation for allegedly engaging in "inappropriate communication" with multiple students, according to district spokeswoman Christina Langston.
Dionne Younce, a physical education teacher at Allen D. Nease High School in Ponte Vedra Beach, has been suspended with pay pending the outcome of an investigation by the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.
Langston said an investigation by the School District's Human Resources Department began late last week.
Cmdr. Chuck Mulligan, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office, said youth resource deputies on Wednesday received information and allegations regarding "inappropriate conversations going on between a teacher and a student."
He said several interviews were being conducted and that the case was turned over to the Special Victims Unit on Thursday to determine whether there was any criminal wrongdoing.
Langston said inappropriate communications can take many forms but it was unclear as of Thursday afternoon what the nature of the communications were or how they were shared.
She said she could not confirm the student's ages or genders.
Younce received a hand-delivered letter from the School District on Wednesday informing her of her suspension "due to alleged misconduct in office."

All kidding aside, if this GROWN WOMAN were to molest my son, I’d punch her smooth in her face.
These women were probably promiscuous in high school and considered it the best time of their lives. Now they’re psychologically stuck as teenagers.
Just why can’t these molesting “educators” get their hard salami from age appropriate men?
Don’t care what she looks like, this sex offender (if a court finds her so) needs to be treated no different than a man doing the same thing.
Registered as a sex offender, stripped of her teacher credentials, and jailed. She should never be allowed around children again.
I am baffled as to why the boys are ratting them out.
Darndest thing I ever saw.
You could draw several conclusions.
One is that the problem has always been there just now being more publicized.
The second could be that professional hiring standards have lowered so much that this is happening more frequently.
A third is that our social attitudes and mores have shifted so much that this behavior is enable in all aspects of our society but we see it most visibly in the education profession.
A fourth is that this is engineered to discredit traditional authority figures. In the past few years, the clergy, teachers and police professions have all been visibly raked across the coals in media frenzies.
There are probably many more. Feel free to dive in...
This is where Tebow went to high school.
I had a gay friend who had been molested by his (female) high school teacher. It is not cute and sexy, the boys feel exploited, and basically they end up hating women.
This kind of thing was going on in the late 50s/60s. Back then it was swept under the rug or the students were bright enough to keep their mouths shut. Otherwise, the internet has opened Aladdin’s lamp.
Narcissism is what drives many of these animals into teaching, others are are simply psychopaths.
Sex wasn't imaginable.
One word: Envy.
Sidebar, this is Tim Tebow’s high school.
Yeah, I can see how a homo kid would be harmed.
I see articles like this and it makes me long for the days when the relationship between teachers and students was much more formal. Teachers weren’t the kids “friends” and they weren’t hanging out together. The teachers were more mature and it didn’t occur to them that a 15 year old or 16 year old was material for a sex partner or dating relationship. Or if it did, huge social pressures stopped them from doing anything about it.
Don’t get me wrong, except in certain cases (for instance a 19 year old boy and a 17 year old girl or other close in age relationships), adults who have sex with underage kids have mental issues and/or are immoral and perhaps even evil. But I do think that the air of informality breaks the line between student and teacher and contributes to it.
And frankly I don’t recall a lot of teachers in their 20s when I went to school. Most of them were middle-aged.
And I don't think it's the nerdy Math Club kids these teachers hit on. It's more likely the varsity football players. Teacher likely had an unfulfilled fantasy from HER school days. Plus, she has an advantage over the HS girls, in that she has a car and an apartment to take them to.
I'm going to guess that teaching was something for women to do after their kids were grown.
The schools cover it up with male teachers as well, while persecuting any teacher that stands for decency.
Literally happened in our district last year. They put a Christian teacher on leave so the could investigate him -after interviewing two years worth of students the only thing they could find was that he occasionally allowed student led discussion that included religion (allowed by law and school policy) so they said he “created a culture of religious intimidation” and moved to fire him. Of course, the administration did all they could to make it seem like he had done something sexual in the media, while claiming that data privacy kept them from releasing any details.
At the exact same time students, parents and other staff members had been making complaints about a younger male teacher who was highly inappropriate with female students. The school took no action and refused to do anything until one irate parent turned her daughter’s cell phone over to law enforcement. Only then did the administration interview the one student and allow the teacher to quietly resign.
One month to interview hundreds of students because a teacher allowed kids to talk about their Christian faith as it related to the class discussion, and a half hour to interview one student when forced to by law enforcement. Evil reigns in public schools. Persecute the good teachers and protect the bad ones is standard procedure these days.
I don’t think he was a “homo kid” until his experience with his teacher. I met another gay man once who had been in foster care and was seduced (at the age of 14) by his foster mother. He said he never trusted women after that; it wasn’t that he didn’t like them, but simply that he felt all they wanted was sex (he was tall and good looking).
