This year's Teacher of the Year at Broussard Middle School has been arrested on child sex abuse charges, records show.

Christie D. Oster, 37, was booked with indecent behavior with a juvenile and carnal knowledge of a juvenile on Wednesday. Records at the Lafayette jail show she's still there, in lieu of $50,000 bond.

Lafayette Police say she's accused of "maintaining an inappropriate relationship with a former student. Following allegations of sexual misconduct, she was booked with felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile and indecent behavior with a juvenile."

We reached out to LPSS to verify that she's employed as a teacher at BMS, with her name and date of birth. LPSS officials say she's on leave.
