Shadow Creek HS teacher resigns amid allegations.
Shadow Creek HS teacher resigns amid allegations of inappropriate relationship with student, district says.
Published: April 28, 2022, 1:20 PM.
PEARLAND, Texas - A Shadow Creek High School teacher has resigned after being accused of having an improper relationship with a student, according to Alvin Independent School District.

Jail records show that JoAnn Karel was arrested Wednesday by the Alvin ISD Police Department and booked into the Brazoria County Jail.

She has been charged with improper relationship between educator and student, and her bond was set at $20,000.

On Thursday, the district released a statement, which read:

"In Alvin ISD we are deeply committed to keeping you informed of matters relating to the safety and security of our students.

"For this reason, it is important we share that today, Alvin ISD received an anonymous tip through our "Let's Chat" platform. The tip alleged that a teacher from Shadow Creek High School was involved in inappropriate conduct with a student. Alvin ISD Police Department immediately launched a full and comprehensive investigation and has been in contact with the Brazoria County District Attorney's office. The teacher has resigned and Alvin ISD will continue to assist law enforcement in prosecuting to the fullest extent under the law.

I wonder if Pearland ISD has an anonymous report text line for students to use. Does anyone know?

@Magnolia832 : Yes, that is the person's mugshot, it's on a public site including their home address.
I didn't post it so as to not break any pearland.com rules.

I found this forum a few years ago when mugshots were posted, but no longer.

Got to wonder what people are thinking

@Stealth83 : It's scary. They must think either they won't get caught or that nothing is wrong with that behavior. Gen Z , I think. You know, these are our future leaders. The Gen Z, I mean. She will go away for a long time. He will never forget what happened., sadly.

I think it's okay to post mugshot in this case to spread awareness. There may be other students or staff who we're witnesses , or God forbid, a former or current student who was a victim.

Seeing the mugshot May propel them to step forward to inform authorities.

This was also a Push Alert with mugshot and all info. on Wednesday, the day of the arrest.
I'm sure it was the buzz of the school and district, including that person's Pearland neighbors.

So unethical, to put it mildly.

Did this student turn in the teacher or did someone else? Do we know if it was a male or female student?

Pearland ISD does have an anonymous report line.

@Dorothy : This is NOT correct. It's for Plano ISD.

@Megyn1 : During an interview with a student -said photos and comments were made on social media.
The media sources were not named, and no word on who actually reported the incident(s).
Thanks for asking!
