A middle school teacher with Carroll ISD is facing charges after she was accused of having an improper relationship with a former student, police said.
Angela Barnes, 45, was arrested Monday by Keller police following an investigation that began in late September after officers received a tip about the Carroll Middle School teacher, police said in a social media post.
Detectives discovered that the relationship with the underage boy took place from June to July of this year before coming to an end, investigators said.
In an emailed statement to The Dallas Morning News, a spokesperson for Carroll ISD said: “Carroll ISD immediately placed this staff member on administrative leave and reported to the proper authorities. The District was made aware the alleged offense took place off-campus over the summer within the jurisdiction of the Keller Police Department. Based on the information we have received, no incidents occurred on CISD campuses. CISD is working in collaboration with Keller Police and Child Protective Services as they investigate the allegations.”
Barnes was booked into the Keller Regional Jail on charges of sexually assaulting a child and improper relationship between educator and student, according to investigators.
Authorities currently believe no additional victims are involved, but they urge anyone with information relevant to the case to contact Keller police.
