Marisa Cazanave, a female teacher at Brooklyn Technical High School, has resigned after authorities discovered she was ‘in love’ with a student.
Cazanave, 33, is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a teen after the boy’s mother found texts and emails professing their love for each other.
Via NY Post:
The married Marisa Cazanave, 33, and the teen both denied any sexual contact, but dozens of texts and e-mails found by the boy’s mom revealed the pair was in love and planned a rendezvous, the city’s Special Commissioner of Investigation reported.
In an May 7 e-mail to the teen, Cazanave gushed, “You make me unbelievably happy,” but agonized over their forbidden passion.
“I honestly cannot reason how spending your time with me and sneaking around instead of time with your friends seems like the better way to spend your free time,” she wrote.
The student replied the next day: “You feel like home and when I’m holding you in my arms time freezes and all of my worries and problems fade away for that moment.
Cazanave, who was an employee at Brooklyn Tech for four years, quit instead of facing misconduct charges after a Special Commissioner of Investigation concluded its probe in October.
While her resignation was supposed to take effect until February, Cazanave never returned to school after Christmas break, with a source at the school telling the Post that the school ‘hustled her out to avoid a scandal.’
