WICHITA, Kan. — A former physical education teacher in Haysville has been sentenced to two years of probation for having sexual contact with a male student.

District Attorney Marc Bennett said 36-year-old Shari Herrs, of Andover, was sentenced Wednesday for an amended charge of attempted unlawful sexual relations.

If Herrs violates her probation, she could receive a 13-month prison sentence.

Prosecutors said Herrs committed the acts with an 18-year-old student at Campus High School between April and May of 2018.

Herrs has already registered as a sex offender and surrendered her teaching license.
