This will continue to be a problem until the schools start treating this for what it really is: hostile workplace sexual harrassment.
We have to stop the attitude of "what's the harm about a cute teacher and a teen-age boy's fantasy?" and look at it with workplace laws.
If a female manager enticed a college graduate new-hire into a sexual relstionship, what would be the workplace reaction? Why can't principals, school district superintendants, and city councils treat the teacher as an employee/manager and the student as a lowest-level worker and apply the same rationale?
What about the effect on the other teachers? How do other female teachers feel about the way students look at them when one of their peers is having a sexual relationship with a student, one who presumably is in classes with other female teachers? That's what hostile workplace laws are all about!
Start prosecuting these teachers on workplace sexual harrassment laws, and you'll see things progress very differently.

Some are more equal than others.
