Nature Coast band director facing sex charges was reprimanded over MySpace photos:

42-year-old Nature Coast Technical High band director Timothy Brightbill was arrested recently after he was found on top of a 17-year-old girl when both were only in their underwear. They allegedly had sex earlier in the day.

Some are saying that should have come as no surprise considering he was warned before about inappropriate material on his Myspace.

“As we discussed in our conference, you are to deconstruct your MySpace account as soon as possible,” wrote principal Margaret “Tizzy” Schoelles in an October 2007 note to the teacher.

“Specifically, I am asking that you remove the pictures we spoke about and consider removing Nature Coast Technical High School students from your friends list. You are directed to cease conduct related to the MySpace account immediately.”

No word on what that material was since his MySpace is now private but adding your students as MySpace friends can only lead to trouble.

And to answer your questions, yes teachers are and should be held to a higher standard.
