HAMILTON, Ohio - A school spokesman said a 47-year-old southwest Ohio teacher resigned after acknowledging she accompanied four female students to a male strip club.

The teacher, who resigned Thursday, told Edgewood High School administrators that the students, all cheerleaders, asked her to take them to the bar in February, said Bill Solazzo, Butler Tech school district's spokesman.

The teacher told school officials in an e-mail that she got permission from the parents of the 17- and 18-year-olds to bring them to the club.

The teacher taught marketing at the school and previously served as a coach for the district's eighth-grade cheerleaders.
