Nicole Marie Sirbu, 29, a former teacher at Stony Creek Elementary School in Littleton, Colorado and a coach for the combined Columbine and Chatfield High School pole-vaulting team has been indicted by a grand jury on a charge of tampering/destruction of physical evidence.
In September 2007 the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office began investigating Sirbu in the wake of allegations of “inappropriate sexual contact” between Sirbu and a 17-year-old member of the Columbine pole-vaulting team.
It is alleged that Sirbu exchanged numerous e-mails with the student using her work e-mail address and her work laptop. It is also alleged that Sirbu became aware of the investigation and resigned her job on October 1st.
When Sirbu turned in her school district-issued laptop a few days later, investigators discovered the original hard drive in the computer was gone and that it had been replaced with a new one. Investigators say that records from the Best Buy store in Lakewood, Colorado indicate that Sirbu used her credit card to purchase a new hard drive of the same size as found in the school laptop turned in by Sirbu.
Sirbu is free on $1,000 bond and is set to appear in court next month.

UNBELIEVABLE !!! She is released on a $1000 bond ??? She has obviously destroyed evidence and had relations w/student and she gets a slap on the hand… I agree jail time for her, this is the type of sentence that needs 2 set the example… bet she can’t get her job back at Sta….ks !

So she is destroying hard drives and things like that which maybe contain e-mails and other messages on her pc. I wonder if she will even see any type of punishment for doing something like that. When i say punishment, I mean jail time. I doubt that she will.
