The safety of our children is a fundamental responsibility of the community and the state. When those entrusted with educational roles violate that trust, the rule of law must be applied swiftly to protect the vulnerable.
Angela Palmares, 27, was apprehended in Bell County after the Llano Independent School District alerted the Sheriff’s Department to the situation. Officials promptly removed her from the list of available staff following the discovery of misconduct.
Superintendent Mac Edwards noted the district’s commitment to protecting students from outside influences that threaten a safe learning environment.
“The district takes all allegations of this nature extremely seriously and remains committed to providing a safe and supportive environment to students,” Edwards stated.
Palmares is currently being held on a $150,000 bond as investigators review evidence of her communication with students. Protecting the next generation from exploitation is a vital component of maintaining a moral and just society.
Americans deserve better.
