Biology teacher, coach arrested for alleged improper relationship with student

SAN ANTONIO — A Warren biology teacher and tennis and basketball coach is behind bars after she allegedly had an improper relationship with a 17-year-old girl.

Stephanie Woods, 28, was arrested Tuesday afternoon and placed on administrative leave by school officials on May 5. According to the affidavit, police learned about Wood's improper relationship with a student after a victim's friend made an outcry to her therapist. From there, officials began investigating and found evidence on the victim's phone that showed she had been at Woods' home multiple times.

The victim told police she told her family that she was staying with a friend from school when she went to her house. Additionally, she admitted their relationship had begun in December 2022.

A letter was sent out to parents by school officials on Thursday to discuss the matter, adding that the investigation is ongoing and they don't suspect any other students were involved.

Wood's bond is set at $50,000.
