A Mansfield ISD teacher was fired this week after being arrested on charges including child pornography, sexual assault of a child and improper relationship with a student.
Jared Young, 33, taught science at Legacy High School and coached the freshman football and basketball teams.
In a letter to parents, Legacy High School Principal Stephanie Bonneau said the allegations against Young do not involve any Mansfield ISD students.
“The safety and well-being of our students is always a top priority, and we know this news is concerning. We value your trust, and such behavior will not be tolerated in Mansfield ISD,” Bonneau wrote.
Young was in his first year as a teacher at Mansfield ISD but had previously worked as a special education aide during the 2021-22 school year. The district said it will contact families of students in that classroom as a precaution.
Bonneau asked that anyone with information about Young’s criminal cases contact police in Alvarado or Mansfield.
