No Criminal Record For Former Superior High School Teacher

A former teacher at Superior High School will avoid a criminal record despite slapping one of her students on the head.  Forty-four-year-old Gretchen Hexum entered a no contest plea to a charge of misdemeanor disorderly conduct in Douglas County Circuit Court last week.  Hexum was fired for slapping the male student last September.  Following the slap, witness said Hexum called it a “love tap” and tried to give the student a hug.  He complained to Superior Police.
