A former Barrow County Schools paraprofessional was arrested Friday on charges relating to an inappropriate relationship with students, authorities said.

Heather Kishun, 35, is accused of having sexual relations with several students at Apalachee High School, where she worked, according to a Facebook post by the Barrow County Sheriff’s Office.

Kishun is no longer employed with Barrow County Schools, district spokesman Ken Greene confirmed to AJC.com.

The alleged incident occurred at Kishun’s home, authorities said. The sheriff’s office said it has no information that any inappropriate contact with students took place on school grounds.

Kishun is charged with aggravated child molestation, child molestation, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, furnishing alcoholic beverages to persons below the legal age and sexual assault against a person enrolled in school.
