Jailed drama teacher also gives notice
By Matt Bartosh-Staff Writer
Boerne High School drama teacher Le Lan Jones, who was arrested last week on three felony sexual offense charges, submitted his resignation to Boerne ISD administrators Friday, Oct. 24.
Kendall County Sheriff's deputies recently charged Jones, 38, with three felony offenses - sexual assault, indecency with a child, and an improper relationship between an educator and a student. He is being held in the Kendall County Jail with a $180,000 bond.
"We have received the resignation of Le Lan Jones on Friday," Superintendent Dr. John Kelly said.
Trustees will act on Jones's resignation at the board's Nov. 17 meeting, Kelly said.
Kendall County Pct. 3 Justice of the Peace Debbie Hudson said all three charges stem from an alleged incident between a Boerne student and the high school drama teacher at Jones's house, Aug. 8.
Jones has retained attorney Wayne Crocker.
Jones has taught drama at BHS since 1990. The school district suspended Jones with pay on Oct. 15.

This is a small community in the Texas hill country about 25 miles north of San Antonio. At what rate is this happening across the country?
Priests, Pastors, Teachers, ScoutLeaders, Coaches, Etc all hold positions of trust. When they violate that trust there should be very severe consequences for them.
The consequences deal with the individual violator but do not rebuild the lost trust in the institutions and organizations.
Hey, the Supremes just made it "OK to be GAY" so the freaks figure its only a matter of time before "Pedophelia and The Joy of Young Love" is an acceptable alternative lifestyle.
