A former Grand Prairie High School teacher has been arrested and charged with Improper Relationship with a Student and Aggravated Sexual Assault.
According to Grand Prairie Police, the school district learned about the alleged relationship between Algebra teacher Derek Fuller and a student in January. Fuller was removed from the classroom the following day and then relieved of all duties. Police opened and investigation that ultimately led to his arrest Thursday.
“This kind of conduct is outrageous and will not be tolerated,” said Dr. Susan Hull, Grand Prairie ISD Superintendent. “The teacher-student relationship is sacred. It reflects a vow from teachers to parents that their children are safe–as safe as they would be at home. When a teacher in Grand Prairie ISD breaks that vow, he or she will be dealt with quickly and aggressively. I encourage law enforcement to pursue all available action.”
Bonds for Fuller totaled $125,000.
