Sheriff's Office spokesman Edward Hopkins told 11 News that state troopers took Amanda Miller, 35, of Whiteford, into custody at the school on Monday, charging her with sexual abuse of a minor and third- and fourth-degree sex offense charges.

Police said Miller is an inclusion helper at the school, meaning she helps the teacher by providing support to students, preparing instructional material and charting student progress.

On Friday, police said they received a referral of child abuse from the county Child Advocacy Center. They then interviewed the 15-year-old, who told them he had been communicating with Miller outside of school since December and that they had engaged in sexual intercourse. The boy said Miller had taken him home from school on occasion and that she had bought cigarettes for him.
