PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. – A teacher who resigned amid accusations of “sexting” with at least one student has found a new job in homeland security.

Larisa Oringdulph, a former South High School teacher, was hired as the South All-Hazards Regional Homeland Security Coordinator by a coalition of county agencies.

Pueblo County Sheriff Kirk Taylor tells the Chieftain the group is essentially “a conduit for the federal homeland security funds that get passed through the state and into counties to be used for various projects.” Those include Pueblo, Custer, Huerfano, Fremont and Las Animas counties.

The sheriff says the members of the group that were a part of the hiring process knew of Oringdulph’s past, but “couldn’t say if the accusations against Oringdulph played any role in the hiring process,” according to the paper.

The teacher was never charged with a crime, but was accused of sending sexually suggestive text messages — and a provocative photo — to students while she was employed at the high school.

Oringdulph had her teaching license revoked by the state last month after the state board of education said she engaged in “inappropriate conduct toward male high school students.”

ABC 13 reports the teacher “admitted to sexting with and kissing a student.”

Sheriff Taylor tells the news station Oringdulph was one of 17 applicants and “was the most qualified due to previous grant writing experience.”
