Stacie Halas Fired, California School District Fires Teacher Over Porn Role, The Oxnard, Calif., School District voted Wednesday night to fire middle school science teacher Stacie Halas for performing in a pornographic film under the pseudonym Tiffany Six.
In a closed session, the trustees of the school district voted unanimously on the issue. They felt it was in the best interest of Rich B. Haydock Intermediate School to cease Halas's employment. Halas taught seventh and eighth grade science.
"We're dealing with the disruption that we believe it would cause our district, and the schools in our district, if she were to return back to the classroom," Superintendent Jeff Chancer said, reported the Associated Press. He also said that if the 31-year-old teacher were to return to the district, it would be a distraction and disruption to the students.
Halas has 30 days to appeal the decision. There is no word yet if she will do so.
Last month, Halas was put on paid administrative leave while the Oxnard School District investigated the allegations that she performed in a pornographic film, after students approached school administrators at the school, telling them they found videos of her online, as previously reported.
The video, however, was produced before she started teaching at Oxnard in 2009.
"I saw parts of the video," Chancer said last month, as previously reported. "It's hardcore pornography."
At the time, top school officials asked parents and teachers to dissuade their students from the visiting the inappropriate sites that allegedly feature Halas in pornographic videos as Tiffany Six.
"It has been alleged that one of our teachers is depicted in at least one pornographic video and possibly others on the Internet,'' said Chancer said in the Tuesday letter to parents."We ask that you be particularly vigilant over the next few days with respect to the Internet content being accessed by your child on his or her telephone or other Internet-ready device."
While, it is not a crime for an adult to appear in a pornographic film, educators believed Halas violated employment conditions.
"Maybe it's not a crime as far as the penal code is concerned, but we feel it's a crime as far as moral turpitude is concerned," said Chancer last month, according to the Smoking Gun.
In the days following the scandal, a fake Twitter account was created featuring a purported photo of her alleged porn star persona, Tiffany Six.
"Tiffany Six, Stacie Halas, it doesn't matter. What matters is that we educate our children. Sex is to be celebrated," tweeted the account.
"There's nothing wrong with SEX!"
"What does it say about our (economy, state, priorities) when a teacher has to work night job to keep food on her table?"
However, the account has not tweeted anything since April 3.
This is not the first time a pornstar became a teacher. Louisa Tuck, also known as "Crystal Gunns, " became a lunch lady in a school in New Jersey. However, once her past was discovered, she was promptly fired.
