Montana schools chief seeks to make teacher sex with students a crime

Student safety is a high priority for Montana’s public schools chief Elsie Arntzen, who plans to ask the 2019 Legislature to make it a crime for teachers and other school staff to have sex with students, even students ages 16 to 18.

Arntzen, superintendent of public instruction, has told lawmakers that it should be illegal for teachers to have sex with students, including students who have reached 16, the age of consent in Montana.
