"I thought it was a slim to none chance of anyone finding this."
Erica Chevillar has no regrets about her decision to pose for an on-line bikini site. She makes $31,000 a year. She's living in Boca Raton, where the cost of living has been wiping her out. She turned to modelling bikinis to make a little extra cash.
"If you ask half the teachers they have a second job. Who's to say what job they take?" she says.
The West Boca Raton High School teacher became the focus of an investigation earlier in the week after a parent complained about the photos at a school board meeting.
The district dropped its investigation two days later, finding Chevillar did nothing wrong.
Still, the media ran with the story. Her photos have been on television stations all over the country. Her images viewed tens of thousands of times on-line.
"I'm not ashamed of anything I've done. I think all the pictures are appropriate, they're covered, they're classy."
Chevillar took the pictures in January at the USA National Bikini Team's headquarters in Boca.
She says she's been modelling since college and was even a Hooter's calender girl.
When she took these pics, she tried to be discreet, because she didn't want it to conflict with her day job.
"The USA National Bikini Team only used my first name. So if you type in my name, it does not pop up."
Chevillar says her school has stood behind her. Still, she will be quitting in two weeks, because she just can't live on a teacher's salary.

A Palm Beach County teacher will not be disciplined for posing in photos some parents say are inappropriate.
Erica Chevillar is a first year teacher at West Boca Raton High School. Parents objected when students began downloading photos of her modeling bikinis and lingerie.
After reviewing the case the school district's office of professional standards found Chevillar should not be punished.
