A teacher accused of smoking marijuana with her students appeared in court. Goleta Junior High School Teacher Melissa Dunning was arraigned on three different felony counts including smoking marijuana with two fourteen year old boys and contributing to the delinquency of minors.
Dunning worked at the Middle School as a temporary teacher for about since March of this year.
Authorities say one of the victim's parents suspected her son had be smoking pot when she picked him up after a tutoring session at Dunning's home.
Investigators say this same incident happened on three separate occasions.
District Attorney Joyce Dudley says the parents of both boys believe justice will be served.
Dunning was ordered to avoid all contact with the boys and their families. She will make another court appearance later this month to face charges.
