An Arlington charter school administrator is now up on charges of having an improper relationship between an educator and a student, which is a second-degree felony.
Reports say Alberto De La Cruz was the athletic director at the Newman International Academy in Arlington.
In a statement, the Academy's Department of Public Safety says in part, "the employee will not be returning to Newman International Academy and the conduct will be reported to the State Board for Educator Certification."
The school says "the criminal and administrative investigations determined that the educator’s interaction with the student were illegal, inappropriate, unprofessional, and unacceptable."
The Newman International Academy Department of Public Safety, Arlington Police Department and Waxahachie Police all took part in the investigation and arrest.
