YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - A high school teacher in Yakima who is accused of having sex with a 16-year-old boy is appealing her firing.

The East Valley School District says Michele Taylor has asked for a hearing on the district's decision to end her contract. She has been on paid leave since June.

The Yakima Herald-Republic reports she had taught physical education at East Valley High School since 2004.

The 31-year-old is charged with sexual misconduct and communicating with a minor for immoral purposes. Prosecutors say she had sex with the 16-year-old in the back of her truck in a Yakima parking lot. Her trial is set for Dec. 21.
