Sentencing for former Jasper High School teacher's aide Janice Rusk, who pleaded guilty January 12 to felony charges of statutory rape and statutory sodomy in connection with a sexual relationship with a student is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday before Judge David Dally in Jasper County Circuit Court.
