New York has a much higher age of consent than most southern states. I would call this a violation of the teacher's moral conduct code in her contract.

They have moral conduct codes?
So far, the only thing that's gotten teachers fired here is if they stupidly have pics taken of themselves in S&M bondage games and put them on the internet where their students can find them.
(One teacher found herself in just such a situation. She had bondage pics taken of herself at *ahem* a swinger's party and then personally put them on the internet. Her 5TH GRADE students found them. And tattled. The fathers were all okay with it, the moms were furious, the students were bummed that she got fired. The school board was embarrassed. And they promptly removed any pics they personally had online, just in case.)
