A teacher at Twinsburg High School since August 2017, Bucy told police that she met the teen student when she was overwhelmed by personal matters.
She shared that she had a ‘sexual relationship with a student’ and ‘exchanged compromising photographs’ with the boy.
The teacher said that the teen would help clean her classroom and that is where the relationship blossomed.
Bucy was said to have allowed the student to ‘vape’ in her office and would even purchase ‘vaping’ juice for the student.
She shared that the boy came to her classroom, one day in either February or March, and the two had sex. Sex was said to have only occurred once.
Police spoke with the boy while his parents were present on September 11. He corroborated the facts but said that the sexual contact had happened before Christmas.
An arrest warrant was issued for the woman on September 12 after she left a ‘secured facility’ that she was to remain in for two weeks. She had been told police ‘would be in contact’ on September 11.
Bucy is said to have traveled to Arizona to visit her father, who alerted authorities on September 15 and said that he was making ‘every effort’ to get his daughter to return.

On September 12, Powers informed Buxy that she was on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation ‘a serious matter involving alleged misconduct on school property.’
