AUSTIN (KXAN) — A fifth grade teacher at Baranoff Elementary School was arrested after he was accused of possessing child pornography, the school’s principal confirmed in a letter to families.
The Texas Department of Public Safety alerted the Austin Independent School District Police Department Tuesday that Carl Innmon was being investigated on the possession of child pornography charge, which is a first degree felony, according to AISD.
Innmon was not listed in Travis County court records as of Wednesday.
District officials “immediately placed Innmon on administrative leave,” the letter said. This was Innmon’s first year of teaching at the elementary school and was last seen on the campus Monday, according to the district.
“We know this is a troubling situation and want you to know we are here to support,” the letter said.
The campus will host a meeting for families Thursday at 8 a.m. in the library “to listen, share counseling resources, and assess the need for additional support,” the letter said. There will also be counselors during the day “to support students as needed.”
The case remained under investigation, and no other details were available from the district Wednesday.
