Festus R-6 School District said a registered sex offender showed up unannounced at an elementary school class field trip.
In 2004, Tammy Chmela admitted to having sexual relations with two male students, both teenagers. She was sentenced to five years probation.
"We are disappointed. It is unfortunate that it did happen," Dr. Randy Sheriff, Festus R-VI Superintendent said.Sheriff learned of the incident after a parent notified a school board member.
Missouri law prohibits registered sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of schools and daycare centers. It also stipulates that offenders may not be present within five hundred feet of a school.
For the latter provision, schools may grant an exception on a case by case basis. Festus R-6 regularly permits Chmela to pick up her daughter from school and to attend school functions.
