SAN MARCOS ISD
A six-year-old student at Travis Elementary made a stunning claim this week that her teacher had taken her and two other students out of school during class and brought them to her home. The child’s parent took this allegation to San Marcos Police and the school district before going public on social media on Wednesday causing an online uproar. However, by Wednesday afternoon investigations had been completed, proving the allegation false. That night, the parent said the child admitted the story was made up and she apologized to the teacher before removing the social media posts.
'I think this situation highlights the need for people to take a step back and pause without going to social media,” San Marcos CISD Superintendent Michael Cardona said. “The first instinct is to reply and castigate personnel without knowing all the facts. Social media has a place but when people react out of emotion and not logic, the effects can be devastating.
