A former teacher at Travis Intermediate School has been indicted by a Hunt County Grand Jury following an investigation into reports of misconduct involving a special education student, Greenville ISD announced on Friday, April 11, 2025.
The school district provided a timeline of events that began on January 1, 2025, when a concerned parent contacted the school principal regarding a staff member's interactions with their child. Subsequent reports included allegations of physical misconduct and visible bruising.
The district's timeline of events:
- January 1: A parent contacted the principal of Travis Intermediate School with concerns about their child’s interactions with a staff member.
- January 22: The parent followed up, reporting physical concerns, including bruising, and relayed a statement allegedly made by the staff member about a prior incident.
- January 23: The complaint was escalated to the assistant superintendent of human resources, and an investigation was initiated, including interviews and a report to Child Protective Services. The staff member was placed on administrative leave that same day.
- January 24: District administrators reviewed video footage that confirmed inappropriate physical conduct on two occasions.
Following the investigation, the teacher was terminated. The matter was then referred to the State Board for Educator Certification and law enforcement. The Greenville ISD Police Department submitted the case to the Hunt County District Attorney's Office, which led to the issuance of an arrest warrant for the former teacher. An arrest has not been reported yet.
The investigation is ongoing.
