CLINTON, S.C. (March 1) - A middle school teacher  accused of having sex with 
at least five boys - some of them students at her  school - was arrested 
Wednesday, authorities said. 

Police began  investigating Allenna Williams Ward, 23, after school officials 
recovered a note  containing inappropriate messages, said Clinton Public 
Safety Director John  Thomas. 

Ward, who is married, had sexual encounters with the 14- and  15-year-old 
boys at various locations, including in the school, at a motel, in a  park and 
behind a restaurant, from December to this month, according to arrest  warrants. 

Some of the victims were students at Ward's school, Thomas  said. 

Ward was placed on administrative leave with pay last Thursday,  acting 
district Superintendent Laura Koskela said. A message left for the  school's 
principal was not immediately returned Wednesday. 

Ward was  charged with criminal sexual conduct with a minor and six counts of 
lewd acts on  a minor, according to arrest warrants. She is being held in 
jail awaiting a bail  hearing, police said. 

A phone message left at Ward's home was not  immediately returned Wednesday 
night.
