Accused of having an improper sexual relationship with more than one male student, a former Perrin-Whitt Consolidated ISD teacher has had a warrant issued for her arrest.  

Kimme A. Woolf, 29, of Mineral Wells, has been charged with two counts of improper relationship between a teacher and student and one count of sexual assault of a child under 17 years old, according to Assistant District Attorney Jay Lapham of the 271st Judicial District in Jack County.  

Both charges are second-degree felonies. The improper relationship charge bans any sexual relationship between a public school teacher and student.

Lapham declined to say how many students may be involved because the investigation is ongoing. The Jack County Sheriff’s Office was notified of an ongoing Child Protective Services investigation in  October and requested assistance from the district attorney’s office based on the outcome of the CPS investigation.  

A message left for Woolf’s attorney, Bob Glasgow, was not returned.  

According to PWCISD Superintendent John Kuhn, Woolf worked as a math teacher at the high school between August 2006 and Oct. 26.  

Woolf’s teacher education certificate notes she is under review by the State Board for Educator Certification Professional Discipline Unit.

Woolf, a graduate of Mineral Wells High School and Tarleton State University, worked as a math teacher for Mineral Wells ISD during the 2005-06 school year before resigning and joining PWCISD.  

“When she was employed [at MWISD] we had no documented information that would have kept her from being re-employed,” Assistant Superintendent Linda Porter-Bradford said when asked if she was eligible for rehire when she left.  

Granbury ISD confirmed Woolf worked as a math teacher for the district during the spring semester of 2005 and was eligible for rehire when she left.

All examples of how transparency helps to make public schools safer. I'm not sure why this is lost on you or why programs oppose transparency and accountability.

All examples of how transparency helps to make public schools safer. I'm not sure why this is lost on you or why programs oppose transparency and accountability.

Nothing is lost, Bruce, we both agree that these articles help.  As you come across them just post them in this thread.  There are so many it is hard to keep up,Thanks.

Here is another one:

November 22, 2010
MURRYSVILLE, Pa. -- A Franklin Regional School District teacher is accused of asking a student to join him in group sex, according to the search warrant.

New details uncovered by Channel 11 News reporter Alan Jennings confirm Murrysville police detectives have served search warrants on both AT&T and Verizon, demanding all text messages and pictures sent to the student by teacher Terry Flaherty.

Jennings confirms the warrants include the accusation that Flaherty asked for a picture of the student’s genitals in exchange for a $100 debt the student owed.

According to the warrant, the teacher called the student later and apologized, saying he was drunk.

Neighbors said that Flaherty would often have parties with teenagers at his home on Pheasant Drive.

"The past two weekends there's been parties, cars lined up, younger people going in and out of the house," said the neighbor.

All I'm seeing is more evidence of why transparency is a good thing. You have to present any reason as to why programs avoid it so much. You can provide links to a thousand stories about public schools, it's only going to accomplish two things:

1. Prove that accountability and transparency lead to better standards and a safer environment, and that the TTI avoids this like the plauge.

2. Show that no matter how many stories about public schools you come across, you're still aren't even coming close to the same percentage of kids who are abused in the TTI. A kid is much more likely to be abused or killed in a program than he is in public school. Nothing you say changes that, the facts prove us right and you wrong.

Then you should be happy to see the results of transparency in action, Bruce.  As you come across articles just cut and paste them in this thread so that we can get the word out.

GRANADA HILLS - A teacher at Hillcrest Christian School has been arrested for having sex several times with a high school student and police said Tuesday he might have abused other students of the private campus.

Acting on a tip from a parent, police on Sunday arrested Mark Stephen Hubbard, 51, who is also the athletic director at the Granada Hills K-12 school, for sex crimes against an underage female student.

"It's been going on since the start of this year," Los Angeles police Detective Michael Brox said during a news conference Tuesday at Devonshire Division. "There were multiple sex acts and sexual contact.

"There is a chance ... that there may be other (victims)."

Hubbard, who is free after posting $100,000 bail, could not be reached for comment Tuesday. A woman answering the phone listed for Hubbard's Granada Hills home said he no longer lived there.

Police did not say who his attorney was.

Hubbard was arrested Sunday after a parent notified authorities of an ongoing sexual relationship between the girl and the teacher, police said. While police declined to give the victim's age, Hillcrest secondary school students range from 14 to 17.

He was booked for "multiple sex crime charges" with a minor, according to police.

The case has not yet been referred to the district attorney.

"It is with great sadness that we recently learned of the situation involving one of our staff members and

the secondary school student," said Hillcrest Secondary Principal Lance Haliday, reading a pre-prepared statement to the press.

A 51-year-old Southern California high school teacher has been arrested for investigation of having sex with an underage female student.

Los Angeles police detectives say Mark Stephen Hubbard, who has taught for eight years at Hillcrest Christian School in suburban Granada Hills, was arrested Sunday. He was booked for investigation of multiple sex crimes and released on $100,000 bail.

During a Tuesday news conference, investigators said they are looking for any additional victims.

Detectives say Hubbard, who is a health teacher, athletic director and assistant boys basketball and baseball coach, had an ongoing sexual relationship with at least one female student.

Hillcrest Christian spokesman Rick Donnelly says Hubbard was placed on leave until police and the school finish investigating.

SPRINGFIELD, Vt. (AP) — A former Springfield, Vt., high school teacher and coach is pleading not guilty to a charge he had sex with a student.

Michael Sorrentino entered the plea to a charge of sexual exploitation of a minor Tuesday in criminal court in White River Junction.

Court documents say the alleged victim told police her relationship with Sorrentino began as student-teacher, but became more friendly when they began spending time together after school. The girl told police that last year Sorrentino forcefully removed her clothing and had sex with her.

Sorrentino's attorney disputed the allegations.

WCAX-TV says Sorrentino has since lost his teaching license and moved to California.

Another Safe Public School:

WALLED LAKE, Mich. —
A 54-year-old Walled Lake Schools teacher charged with inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor has been put on unpaid suspension.

Larry Konyha of Commerce Township pleaded not guilty during his arraignment Monday in 52nd District Court on second-degree criminal sexual conduct charges.

Police tell The Oakland Press of Pontiac that the Walnut Creek Middle School social studies teacher inappropriately touched an 8-year-old girl on or about Oct. 24. They said the victim is not a Walled Lake student and the incident did not occur at a Walled Lake school. District officials notified parents of the incident in a letter.

Court officials did not immediately know if Konyha had a lawyer.

Whooter we've firmly established and agreed upon the fact that public schools are safer than programs. What I don't understand is why you keep avoiding the question about why programs avoid accountability.

[none-ya]

I'm not being flippant here, or trying to overstate the obvious. You always find pediphiles(?) where there are children. Public scholls,private or religious schools,gym coach, boy scouts,summer camp,juvy, rehab clergy,ect...
Thats where kiddie pervs will be found. The people we trust as advocates and stewerds of our children,  are
where most children get preyed opon. Take all that, and add to them the total of child abuse in the home, I don't care where, IT'S JUST NOT SAFE TO BE A KID. ANYWHERE!

sorry....

[Whooter]

I agree with you None-ya, there is no place that kids could call safe.   I think a child in a public school with both parents working is at a huge risk of being taken advantage of.  There is a lot of free time where the parents are not there to protect them.  Predators employed by the school system can easily take advantage of them in the after school hours.

In the programs that I am familiar with the children have such a structured life that almost every minute is accounted for.  The kids are constantly in and out of group sessions and individual therapy where they are talking about issues.  So it is understandable that the child would be safer from child predators in an atmosphere where the predator has no time to gain control over the child or get them alone.

The predators will be successful eventually in any situation but if you take away the opportunities for the predator to strike you can reduce the risk.
