CLARENDON—On July 2, the Vermont State Police were notified by the Vermont Department of Children and Family Services (DCF) of their concern regarding a possible sexual relationship occurring between Tiffany Pagan, 25, of Clarendon, and a 15-year-old student. Pagan is a former peer educator for Rutland City Public Schools. Through the investigation it was learned that Pagan mentored the student at Success School, communicated sexually through Facebook and allowed him to sleep at her residence.
