The second link is to a news article in the Texarkana Gazette. In the news article, the Superintendent of the Liberty -Eyalu Independent School District only stated that the teacher was no longer employed at the high school. In addition, the Superintendent stated that he could not commented further on the matter, due to human resources. The Superintendent should have addressed the fact that yes of his employees was arrested, but then he should have restated mission statement of the school district, which is "Building a Culture of Success." This is not the first time an Liberty-Eyalu High School employee has been in trouble with the law. Last fall, a coach was found to have sexual relations with two female students. Once, again the the Superintendent failed to comment on the situation. By the Superintendent not acknowledge the allegations or charges, leaves room for rival schools, board members and parents to come to there on conclusion.

The first link is to the school district web page. This particular page is called the Principal's message. This page has four entries and not one address the charges or allegations of the two teachers. Instead, the principal talks about the new No Pass/ No Play policy that the Texas Senate recently passed. As stated before, by the principal of the high school commenting on either situation, leaves room for speculation. The district as a whole will suffer from speculation among parents, wondering if there children are safe. The Superintendent made the speculation worse by resigning and accepting a Superintendent position a school district south of Dallas, shortly after the second teacher's arrest. Overall, the district should have responded on the allegations, by issuing a press release and/or updating the districts website to comment. Also, the district should reassured parents and students that the matter would be handled in a professional manner, and the district should have restated its purpose and mission statement.
