Amy Dixon, 32, who was attendance secretary at the school, agreed to a plea agreement after she was charged with sexual battery, a third degree felony, for having sex with a 17-year-old student. The incident happened in a parking lot in the 500 block of Newport Road in Xenia sometime between Aug. 20 and Sept. 14, 2018, according to a police report.
Dixon, who was hired at the school in 2016, resigned from her position on Sept. 25, 11 days after she was put on paid administrative leave. Police were conducting an investigation into the allegations during that period.
She was officially charged on March 27, 2019.

Her husband filed for divorce on July 12.
The Greene County Prosecutor’s Office is recommending that Dixon be sentenced to community control and be labeled a Tier III sexual offender. If the judge accepts the prosecutor’s recommendation, Dixon would have to register her address every 90 days with the sheriff's office for the rest of her life.
