Texas Teacher Improper with Student

(Hockley County, Texas) A 34-year-old kindergarten teacher formerly at Ropes Independent School District, Megan Michelle Thompson, has been accused of behaving inappropriately with a 17-year-old student.

Thompson faces a charge of engaging in an improper relationship between an educator and a student.

The Department of Public Safety’s Texas Rangers submitted their case to a Hockley County grand jury, who returned an indictment against the former teacher, according to District Attorney Christopher Dennis.[…]

The reported victim in the case was 17, Dennis said, but age was not a factor because of the nature of the charge.

Thompson was booked into custody at the Hockley County Jail and subsequently released on a $10,000 bond.
