The school district did not know about her arrest until six months later. She had a baby with the 16-year-old student.
The lowercase judge - one undeserving of the honorific capitalization of a title - sentenced her to three months in jail - not prison.
Feb 15, 2008 - It took six months for the school district to know about her arrest.
A Florence Unified School District kindergarten teacher remained on the job for six months after she was arrested on suspicion of having sex with a 16-year-old, resigning only after the state notified the district, officials said.Angela Csader, 25, a Anthem Elementary School kindergarten
teacher was arrested in July on charges she had sex with a Gilbert boy who fathered her child.The state Department of Education has an investigation section that deals with teachers facing criminal charges. But under state law, school districts are responsible for notifying the department, which then revokes the teacher's certification. Police did not notify the school because they were unaware that she was a teacher. She was hired by a Gilbert couple to help teach their 8-year-old in their home. That's where she met the 16-year-old boy who fathered her child.
District spokesman Larry Cline said the school found out on Jan. 30 that Csader's fingerprint card was revoked. This is the same school district that when they found out, sent a notice home to parents about her resignation but refused to name her because "the alleged sexual acts didn't involve Anthem students."
Csader, who is married, faces a family court dispute with the victim, who filed for full custody of their daughter in December.
Csader resigned the day after the district learned of her arrest. Her next court date is set for Feb. 26.
------------------------
TT - If a teacher is arrested out of state or the county, police in that jurisdiction would be no more likely to know the teacher's occupation and wouldn't know to notify the school district either.
That's why most districts require teachers and staff to notify them when they are arrested. f]Failure to do so is grounds for instant dismissal. How hard is that?
-------------------------
Feb 20 - Lengthy explanation of why she continued to teach while police were investigating her.
GUILTY March 28 - Csader pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual conduct with a minor. She will be sentenced on April 28.
Police learned of the situation more than a year before her resignation. The case was delayed a year because the boy and his mother did not want to testify. Her case sparked a new law.
The House of Representatives unanimously passed HB2042, now moving through the Senate.SENTENCED (Sorta) April 30 - Csader was sentenced to three months in jail - not prison - by lowercase judge Mina Menez. Csader faces 15 years of probation and will have to register as a sex offender. Each charge carried a maximum sentence of 1 1/2 years in prison.
The bill requires the Department of Public Safety to regularly provide each school district with a list of fingerprint card holders who have been arrested or convicted.
It also would make educators who don’t immediately report their arrests to their schools guilty of unprofessional conduct, a punishment that calls for dismissal and exclusion from future employment in other school districts.
[Lowercase judges are those whose egregious sentencing decisions undermine public faith and trust in the judicial system that results in a lowering regard for the court, law and decency and consequences. They dishonor themselves.]

CERTIFICATES REVOKED August 3, 2008 Board of Education minutes voted to revoke Csader's teaching certificates.
