You may remember the story of Brooke Lynn Domel, a 32-year-old teacher at Wharton High School, who was busted for having a sexual relationship with a student last year. Then again, there have been so many of these incidents, perhaps you don’t.
In a nutshell, Brooke Domel taught elective classes such as landscape management and floral design at Wharton High School. She first came under investigation for the alleged 2012 relationship in May of this year.
Domel was arrested in the school parking lot the morning of July 1, after new information came to the attention of police.
Although she was subsequently placed on administrative leave, Domel's contract with the school had already been renewed for the 2013-2014 school year by the time she was arrested.
Unfortunately, for all the young males full of hormones, just waitin’ to get a piece of a teacher, the school board has finally gotten around to formally firing Domel. You’ll just have to look elsewhere.
In an executive session of the school board Tuesday night, the new district superintendent King Davis recommended that Domel's contract be terminated. The board voted to let her go. It was Davis' first action as superintendent, according to the Wharton Journal-Spectator.
Domel is married and has two small children. She is charged with inappropriate relationship between educator and student, a second-degree felony. Her attorney, John Maher, says his client "doesn’t understand why she was arrested."
The police are continuing their investigation. According to a Wharton County Sheriff's spokesman, the alleged sexual contact between Domel and the student, who graduated in June, happened more than once, but not on school grounds.
“It’s alleged to have occurred on more than one occasion,” Sgt. Raymond Jansky said.
