DUDLEY, Mass. -- A teacher accused of having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student at Shepherd Hill Regional High School in Dudley was placed on administrative leave.

Amber Jennings, of Sturbridge, was released on personal recognizance following her arraignment last week and ordered to stay away from the boy. She pleaded not guilty to charges of inducing a minor under 18 to have unlawful sexual intercourse and disseminating obscene matter.

A statement from school superintendent Sean Gilrein said Jennings was placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

When questioned by the Telegram & Gazette of Worcester, Gilrein refused to say whether Jennings would be paid while on leave.

Jennings, 30, has taught English at the high school since 1997.
