NASHVILLE (AP) -- A teacher whose husband is accused of fatally shooting her student lover has been fired from a Nashville school over new allegations of improper contact with a student.
Nashville station WTVF-TV is reporting that Erin McLean used her maiden name to get a job at Pioneer Christian Academy in Nashville, where she was teaching high school English.
Headmaster Jeff Darnell said Friday that McLean called one of her students 15 to 20 times from different phones.
He would not say what the calls were about, but said the student's parents were concerned about inappropriate contact.
McLean's husband, Eric, is charged with second-degree murder in the March 10 shooting of 18-year-old Sean Powell outside of their Knoxville home.
He has said he believed Powell was having an affair with his wife.
Eric McLean's attorney said the new allegations could be used as evidence in his client's trial.
