Teacher fired after allegedly applying to marry 16-year-old student

An Oklahoma teacher was fired over an allegedly inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old student after she filed for a marriage license, according to multiple reports.

Cassandra Renae White, 34, and a 16-year-old boy filed for a marriage license in Cleveland County near Okalahoma City on December 13, according to KFOR. The marriage was signed off by the teen’s father after he signed a concent form, the news station reports. A 16-year-old can be married with parental consent in Oklahoma.

According to KTEN, as of Dec. 14, White was no longer employed by Davis Public Schools and the district released a statement saying, “The District recently learned of allegations of an inappropriate relationship between a student and a teacher. The District is currently cooperating with law enforcement in the investigation of these allegations.” This incident is being investigated by the Davis Police Department.
