Dayna Crenshaw, 33 is a Nacogdoches High School coach who has been charged with an improper relationship between an educator and a student, this time in Nacogdoches, TX. She was arraigned in the Nacogdoches County Jail Tuesday Morning for the 2nd degree felony, which applies even if the victim is over the AOC and the relationship is otherwise consensual.
NISD police began investigating when a female student alleged this spring that she had been involved in a sexual relationship with Crenshaw for four months. The identity of the high school student making the allegation is only identified by initials inside the affidavit. We do know she's 18 years old and graduated last week.
The student spoke of Crenshaws' tattoo of pink and baby blue footprints located below her right waistline. The student reportedly saw them during sexual acts that occurred in Crenshaw's mothers house. The student successfully provided police a detailed floor plan of the home and stated the sex occurred in Crenshaw's mother's bedroom. The home is just 4/10's a mile from the high school where both spent the majority of the day.
Crenshaw was placed on administrative leave and after it was reported to the Nacogdoches Independent School District [NISD] that "in regards to allegations being made by a female student that stated she had been involved in a sexual relationship with a teacher, Dayna Crenshaw." She was released on $15,000 bond after being arraigned byJudge Dorothy Tigner-Thompson.
NISD Human Resources assistant superintendent G.W. Neal said Dayna Crenshaw remains an employee on administrative leave. The Texas State Board of Education will be notified of the alleged relationship should the district fire her.

(Update 8-13-08) Crenshaw was sentenced to a $2000 fine, $5000 restitution to the NISD, and 5 years deferred adjudication probation on August 8. She had to resign from the NISD by 5PM Friday, August 8, releasing them from any civil liabilities. She can't work in the education field while on probation, or as a teacher again, even after her probation ends.
By entering a plea of guilty, Crenshaw gave up certain rights, including the right to a jury trial and the right to bring witnesses to testify or her behalf, Cox said. She also waived arraignment and gave up her right to appeal.
Following the plea hearing, James declined to comment on behalf of his client.
Dr. Rodney Hutto, NISD superintendent, said the district will continue to abide by what is in the best interest of NISD students.
"We will continue to make sure that our kids are protected and do the best that we can by them... We are here for the kids and to ensure their safety and well-being. We want to be the best possible school system. Our goal is to be the best in Texas."
After completion of deferred adjudication in Texas, there will not be an official criminal record, but if Crenshaw is on the SO list, she'll remain there for life.
