Karen Spann, 46, an 8th-grade teacher at Louis Armstrong Middle School, was charged with one felony count of a lewd act on a child under the age of 14 and one misdemeanor count of child molestation.Investigators say that Spann began having an inappropriate relationship, which led to grooming, with a student in April.
