Halas, 32, had been a junior high teacher science teacher in Richard B. Haydock Intermediate since 2009. She said the school board's decision to fire her is unfair and she plans to fight the verdict .

"We disagree with the decision by the board to dismiss or seek the dismissal of Miss Halas," her attorney Richard Schwab, said, reported the Ventura County Star. "It is our intention at this time to vigorously contest the charges,"

Halas has not official been served with the dismal from the school district. However, she will have 30 days to appeal it and seek an administrative hearing. Schwab said there are no grounds to fire Halas.

"The type of conduct she engaged in was lawful conduct in a business which, while others may disagree with its content, is very vibrant in both Los Angeles as well as the state of California," he said, according to the Ventura County Star.

However, school board President Veronica Robles-Solis said that the officials, students and paratns must focus on the best interests of the school district.

"We must do what's right for students, staff and parents by maintaining the focus on education," she said.

On Wednesday, April 18, Oxnard School District trustees voted unanimously to fire Halas, who taught seventh and eighth graders.  

Superintendent Jeff Chancher agreed with Robles-Solis saying it was in the best in the best interest of the community to let Halas go.

"We're dealing with the disruption that we believe it would cause our district, and the schools in our district, if she were to return back to the classroom," he said, reported the Associated Press. He also said that if the 31-year-old teacher were to return to the district, it would be a distraction and disruption to the students.

Last month, Halas was put on paid administrative leave while the Oxnard School District investigated the allegations that she performed in a pornographic film, after students approached school administrators at the school, telling them they found videos of her online, as previously reported.

The video, however, was produced before she started teaching at Oxnard in 2009.

"I saw parts of the video," Chancer said last month, as previously reported. "It's hardcore pornography."

At the time, top school officials asked parents and teachers to dissuade their students from the visiting the inappropriate sites that allegedly feature Halas in pornographic videos as Tiffany Six.
