A teaching assistant has been fired from her position after appearing in a provocative school uniform on the adult content platform OnlyFans.
Kristin MacDonald, a 35-year-old individual, was let go after school board officials discovered her side gig and subscribed to her account. Local media in British Columbia, Canada, reported that one particular photo that outraged them showed Kristin dressed in a seductive schoolgirl outfit.
In the controversial image, Kristin is seen sitting on a desk wearing a plaid mini-skirt, a tightly fitted cropped shirt, and thigh-high white socks. Additionally, she is depicted biting into an apple.
Expressing their anger, the Terry Fox Secondary School board addressed Kristin in a letter, stating that the picture "inappropriately sexualises the school environment".
Kristin - who posts as 'Ava James' - hit back saying she was astonished that the school in Port Coquitlam had spent public cash ogling OnlyFans.
The single mum had been a teaching assistant at the school since 2015, specialising in helping children with learning difficulties.
She has been on a warning since April when education officials first wrote to her about her out-of-school sideline.
Kristen said: "I was in Mexico with my daughter. So I had the time to think about the next steps that I wanted to take and kind of mourn the loss of my past career.
"It’s sad and disappointing. I put eight years into working for that district, and it’s extremely disappointing.”
She says she only turned to the adult content site because she couldn't make ends meet on her CAD 2,000- (£1,190)- a-month salary.
Kristen explained: “We make such a little income teaching, it's impossible to survive without extra money.
"And anybody who does a teaching job like this does it because they love the kids and they love what they do.
"It’s certainly not for the money. But you have to survive and you have to feel like you’re progressing in life.”
Now union leaders are to take on the school board saying that Kristin's OnlyFans work did not breach her contract,
Randy Kootte - from the Canadian Union of Public Employees - told local media he's fighting to have the sacking overturned.
He said: "The union does not believe that Kristin’s off-duty conduct violated any company policies or collective agreement provisions."
