WESTMORELAND, N.Y. (WKTV)- A man who taught at Westmoreland High School will no longer be able to teach in New York State after he admitted to having an "inappropriate relationship" with a female student, according to the New York State Department of Education.

State Education Department Officials said that on June 17, Jerry Burlison surrendered his permanent certificates to teach Health and Business and Distributive Education, and permanently waived his right to re-apply for any teaching or administrative certificate. He admitted that he had an inappropriate relationship with a female student, who was over the age of seventeen, during the 2008-2009 school year.

Burlison's resignation was accepted at a recent school board meeting.

Burlison's teaching website was still active on the Westmoreland Central School's website as of Tuesday morning. On it, Burlison said he taught a variety of classes at Westmoreland High School and had knowledge in many different areas such as business, health, and sports.

The Westmoreland Superintendent and School Board President did not return calls.

Oneida County Child Advocacy Center Investigator Kevin Revere said they are not investigating the incident.
