The depraved worker was initially placed on administrative leave following her April 4 arrest, where she waived her rights and fessed up to the sick acts, WAAY TV reported.

Lauderdale County School District did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Wigginton, who is married with children according to her Facebook, told police she had sex with the male student on March 7 and 31, court documents obtained by the news outlet showed, New York Post reported.

The alleged sexual tryst took place at her family home in Rogersville, Times Daily reported, which also cited her as working in the school’s child nutrition program.

Authorities did not specify the student’s age but noted in court documents that he is younger than 19. The age of consent is 16 in the Heart of Dixie.

She was charged with two counts of a school employee engaging in a sex act with a student.

The alleged predator was booked at the Lauderdale County Detention Center on a $100,000 ($156,000) bond that she posted shortly after her arrest, court documents showed.

Wigginton is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on June 23, the outlet reported.
