Blanco Vista Elementary second-grade teacher Andrew Palmore was arrested on March 1 and has been charged with two counts of indecency with a child and other related offenses following an "exhaustive investigation" by theThe district said earlier this week that it was told about the investigation on Feb. 1 at which time, Palmore was placed on leave and his access to Hays CISD campuses and students was revoked.
According to Hays CISD, this is not the first time Palmore has been placed on leave or been under investigation. Palmore had been placed on leave in December 2020 when the district was notified that he was being investigated by Child Protective Services and law enforcement. However, those investigations did not result in any charges or any information provided to the school district that would have caused the district to proceed with disciplinary action.
KPD does not currently have evidence that the alleged acts happened during school but parents who may be concerned or have information that could be important to the investigation should contact KPD at 512-268-3232, says Hays CISD. Palmore has been with Hays CISD since spring 2012 when he served as a substitute teacher at Blanco Vista and Science Hall elementary schools and Simon Middle School. He was hired fulltime in August 2014 at Blanco Vista where he has worked with second, fourth and fifth grade students.
