I'm pretty sure that Julie said it was a woman. At first Julie referred to
her as a 'they', but then later she [Julie] referred to her [the teacher]
as a "her" [the teacher]: "I'm thinking the Language Arts teacher may have
plied her way with tissues."
The decision where to put that period was mind-bending -- refer to rule
3.2.1.a of Mutton Handbook of Style.
