   A female high school teacher engaged in a sexual relationship   
   with a 14-year-old boy with whom she also traded nude photos, a   
   Will County prosecutor said.   
      
   On Wednesday, Dayna Chidester, 50, of the 25400 block of   
   O’Connel Lane in Manhattan declared her intention to resign from   
   her position as a teacher with Reed-Custer High School in   
   Braidwood after being confronted with allegations of exchanging   
   text messages about drugs with a student, according to a Reed-   
   Custer District 255 news release.   
      
   But Chidester's troubles were just beginning.   
      
   On Thursday, Chidester was arrested on charges with grooming,   
   solicitation to meet a child, indecent solicitation of a child   
   via the internet and aggravated criminal sexual abuse. She was   
   booked into the Will County jail.   
      
   Chidester appeared in court on Friday via video broadcast from   
   the jail. Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Jeffrey Brown   
   detailed the sexual abuse allegations against her.   
      
   Chidester allegedly engaged in a sexual relationship with a 14-   
   year-old boy. The teen resides in Manhattan and is not a Reed-   
   Custer High School student, Brown said.   
      
   In September, Chidester and the boy communicated with each other   
   via text messages that became sexual in nature, Brown said, and   
   Chidester and the boy also exchanged nude photos of each other.   
      
   Brown said child pornography charges may be forthcoming against   
   Chidester but further investigation is pending.   
      
   Chidester allegedly confirmed that text messages and photos were   
   sent electronically and that sexual physical contact had   
   occurred with the boy, according to the Will County State’s   
   Attorney’s Office.   
      
   Chidester’s head was bowed as Brown read the allegations against   
   her. When Will County Judge Ted Jarz read the charges against   
   her, she appeared stressed as she grasped her face with both   
   hands.   
      
   Brown requested Chidester be held at the jail on a $2 million   
   bond. In requesting the high bond, he pointed out she was a   
   teacher who had contact with and authority over minors, and   
   referenced the extent of the police investigation.   
      
   Jarz noted Chidester was a low flight risk but added that he was   
   “very concerned about the risk to the community.”   
      
   When Jarz set her bond at $1 million, Chidester burst into   
   tears. She needs to post 10 percent of her bond to be released   
   from jail.   
      
   Chidester's husband and daughter attended her bond hearing. Her   
   husband declined to comment.   
      
   As a condition of Chidester’s bond, she is not allowed to have   
   contact with the victim, no contact with any minors outside of   
   her family, and no contact with any schools. She is also   
   prohibited from using the internet.   
      
   Braidwood police are investigating allegations that Chidester   
   exchanged text messages with a student about drugs.   
      
   On Dec. 20, a parent of a Reed-Custer High School student   
   contacted a school resource officer with allegations that text   
   messages related to unlawful drugs were exchanged between a   
   student and Chidester, according to a school district news   
   release.   
      
   Reed-Custer administrators met with Braidwood police to discuss   
   the investigation and the police reportedly confirmed the texts   
   did exist, the news release stated.   
      
   District officials have barred Chidester from school property   
   and from having contact with students.   
      
   Another teacher from Reed-Custer was also arrested on sex-   
   related crime charges several weeks ago.   
      
   On Dec. 4, Kevin W. Macha, 28, of Joliet was charged with   
   possession of child pornography. Macha worked as a music teacher   
   for the school district. He also worked as the Joliet American   
   Legion Band director.   
      
   Reed-Custer officials are also being sued for allegedly turning   
   a blind eye to the bullying, hazing and sexual abuse of a young,   
   aspiring football player.   
      
   District officials said in a news release they "intend to   
   vigorously defend these baseless allegations."
