Fort Worth police issued a warrant for the arrest of a former Lake Travis High School teacher. She is accused of having an improper relationship with a student.
The teacher at the center of this investigation is 39-year-old Cristina McCann. McCann began working at Lake Travis High School in 2007.
In addition to teaching marketing and finance, she served as the DECA club sponsor. DECA is an international organization for business and marketing.
According to a Lake Travis ISD spokesperson, McCann accompanied the DECA students to the state competition in Fort Worth Feb. 24 through Feb. 27.
It was during that trip that an 18-year-old student said he and McCann had a sexual encounter in a hotel room.
Once school staff learned about the allegations on May 5, McCann was placed on paid leave and the Travis County Sheriffs Office was alerted.
McCann resigned on May 12.
Fort Worth police took over the investigation due to the location of the incident. On Friday, officers issued a warrant for McCanns arrest. She is charged with improper relationship between an educator and student. It is a second degree felony which carries a punishment of two to 20 years in jail.
McCann told police she will surrender on Monday. Her bond is set at $10,000.
Once she is booked in to jail, Fort Worth police will release more details about the case.
Well, what can I say?
I agree. Schools need to go back to basics as in reading, writing and arithmetic. There are a lot of 20+ yr olds that cannot write in cursive.
She ran the school store? “Hey Mr. Quarterback...want to earn a free Snickers bar?”
Seems to be kinda full figured. Nothing wrong with that. But...more evidence needed before verdict is rendered.
Leaning toward guilty w/possibility of parole.
"guilty....she fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on da way down"
Is that Meghan McCain?
This must have totally traumatized an 18yo
Oink.
She ought to team up with Wiener or wiener or whatever.
“kinda full figured” “Nothing wrong with that.”
I agree and almost feel sorry for her. Of course if I knew her I might not. Certainly if she is a lib.
Old guys like me are still puzzled about how women get involved with children (18 is in my opinion not a child, but is still a student.).
Dear Penthouse....
After downing a 6 pack, not guilty.
Baylor? Oh, no! I’m sure they didn’t have sex standing up for fear someone may have thought they were dancing. (Old Baptist joke)
Mrs? I assume that means she’s married.
An 18 year old and an older female is private territory.
People need to police their own lives.
Let the state do it and they take away all privacy and freedom.
Look at reply #9 and it also says Mrs., so I would think she is married - for now.
Only few dozen pounds heavier (more or less) than a wacko bitch ex-supervisor of mine at an university IT dept.
In her tenure as a teacher, Mrs. McCann has taught several business classes including:
BCIS
The Art of Love Making (honors)
How to Do your Teacher (honors)
Thing That Make Your Teacher Scream (honors)
oh......GUILTY beyond a reasonable doubt
Exactly. They’re not going to associate with people in their own age group. They’re naturally going to go where the ‘’prey’’. Some may find this behavior ‘’cute’’ or ‘’sexy’’ It’s nothing of the kind. It’s the rape of a child by someone, a woman, who is given the authority and trust to educate children, not sexually molest them. It’s all the more horrible because women, historically and biologically, are looked on as trusting, caring , nurturing and protective presence. Where is the National Organization of Women on this? Do they feel this appropriate , ‘’empowering’’ behavior for a woman teacher? I won’t even ask if they think this is the rape of young men. Might as well ask a Nazi how they feel about anti-Semetism.
