Texas Female Teachers

Two female Permian High School employees are being investigated for separate alleged improper relationships with students, according to the Ector County Independent School District.
These are the third and fourth female Permian employees to be investigated by ECISD in a year’s time.
Two other women, in April 2013, Kathryn Maples and April Collins resigned and were eventually indicted for the second-degree felony.
Alisha Carrasco Knighten, a P.E. coach at Bonham Junior High and assistant softball coach at Permian High School, is on paid administrative leave while being investigated administratively at this point, for a possible improper relationship with a student, Director of Communications Mike Adkins said on Monday afternoon.
The second female employee who was being investigated by ECISD police, as revealed by an ECISD police department incident report obtained by the Odessa American on Friday, is not being named by the district and will not be named by the OA right now.
The unnamed female employee resigned from her clerk job at Permian on April 8 citing personal reasons, according to Adkins. The employee was not a teacher.
During the time the unnamed employee resigned, Adkins maintained there was nothing to substantiate the improper relationship with a female Permian student and there was no police investigation. Though on Monday following the information reported in the ECISD police blotter, Superintendent Thomas Crowe said otherwise.
“Yes. They were investigating it,” Crowe said.
In the ECISD police blotter, two “information reports” were given to ECISD police. The first report was given at 12:17 p.m. April 4, when a student reported that another student may be “getting too close to a teacher.”
The second report occurred at 10:02 a.m. April 8, at Permian High School: “parents were concerned that their child might be involved in an improper relationship with a school employee.”
Neither employee has been arrested for any crime, according to ECISD police.
This is the fourth such time in one year that ECISD opened an investigation into an alleged improper relationship between an educator and a student. All four investigations involved female employees.
“Any time I get a report of an improper relationship at a school about an employee, I want it taken very seriously, checked out thoroughly and completely,” Crowe said.
“There is no place for that in education,” he continued, saying that the topic gets him fired up. “It’s totally inappropriate and it continues to amaze me that educators would put themselves in that position.”
In April 2013, two female employees at Permian resigned within the same week amid separate investigations that alleged they were engaged in sexually charged relationships with male Permian students.
Kathryn Maples, then 28, was a history teacher and swim coach at Permian and allegedly involved with a 17-year-old student.
April Collins, also 28 at the time of the investigation, was employed at Permian as an athletic trainer and was allegedly involved with a 19-year-old student.
Following ECISD’s investigation, no charges were filed. Not until Ector County’s District Attorney Bobby Bland went to the ECISD police department in May 2013 seeking information was when Collins and Maples faced criminal prosecution.
An Ector County grand jury indicted both women on charges of an improper relationship between an educator and student (Maples on three counts; Collins on four counts including sending sexually explicit pictures and online solicitation of a student), a second-degree felony and could carry between two and 20 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000.
Maples was arrested on June 12 and Collins was arrested on June 17.
No trial date has been set for either case, according to documents in the 244th District Court where the women were previously arraigned.
On March 20, former Permian math teacher Robert Young, 44, was acquitted on two counts of improper relationship between educator and student.
He was placed on administrative leave June 21, 2010, during the investigation of a relationship with an 18-year-old female student. Young was arrested June 29, 2010.

Would not now. Would have when I was in high school. I'd have nailed about anything in high school.
