YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — A Yakima high school physical education who was found not guilty of having inappropriate sexual contact with two students is going to court to get her job back.

KNDO-TV reports a court hearing is set for Sept. 27 for Michelle Taylor.

The former East Valley High School teacher was found not guilty in June of charges of sexual misconduct and communication with a minor for immoral purposes. The 31-year-old had been fired after she was accused of having sex with a 16-year-old student and sending sexual messages to him and a 15-year-old.

After she was cleared, she said she’s been waiting at home for over a year and wants to get back to teaching.
