RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) _ A former Hill City High School teacher was arrested in Sioux Falls over the weekend, charged with solicitation of a minor and exploitation of a minor.
Thirty-one-year-old Sommar Chaffee is accused of sexual misconduct with students while she was a music teacher in Hill City.
The charges against Chaffee are felonies. They each carry a maximum penalty of two years in prison and a $4,000 fine.
She was released on a $1,500 bond.
Hill City Superintendent Mark Naugle has declined comment, saying it's a personnel matter. The school board in April voted not to renew Chaffee's contract.
