A substitute teacher identified as Angela Palmares, 27, was arrested in Texas after being accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student.
The arrest was carried out by the Llano County Sheriff’s Office, which charged him with “improper relationship between educator and student.”
Origin of the complaint
The case was initiated after the Llano Self-sustaining College District received a complaint Tuesday regarding inappropriate conduct at Llano High College.
According to Superintendent Mac Edwards, the allegations point to improper communications with students through social networks outside of school hours.
The sheriff’s office’s Criminal Investigation Division began the investigation Wednesday, conducting interviews and collecting evidence that led to the issuance of an arrest warrant.
Palmares was located in Bell County and taken into custody without incident. His bail was initially set at $150,000, although later records indicate he no longer remains in custody.
School district actions
The educational authorities reported that The teacher has not provided services in the district since April 2 and that she was immediately removed from the list of substitutes after learning of the complaint.
The district said it had contacted parents of potentially affected students, although details about the number of students involved or their ages have not been revealed, in order to protect privacy.
The investigation remains open and the authorities do not rule out that new elements may emerge in the case.
The sheriff’s office urged anyone who believes they have been a victim or has relevant information to contact authorities.
The school district reiterated its commitment to student safety and stated that it addresses these types of complaints with the utmost seriousness, in a context that once again puts professional conduct in educational settings at the center of the debate.
