ODESSA, TX (KWES) - Ector County released the arrest affidavit of 52 year-old Travis Elementary principal Linda Voss.
It reads on Jan. 14 ECISD police received a complaint about a suspected indecency at Travis Elementary between a student.
Their investigation found Voss was negligent in reporting the sexual abuse of three 11 year-old female students.
The collective students confided in a substitute teacher who sent them to notify Voss on Jan. 10, the same day the incident occurred.
Voss only interviewed one student the following day and delayed reporting to ECISD Police or CPS until Jan. 15 and Jan. 16.
The Texas Family code legally requires Voss to notify law enforcement or CPS within 48 hours of acquiring knowledge of any sexual abuse allegations concerning one of her students.
After failing to report for five to six days, Voss has since been arrested for a Class A Misdemeanor.
However, the school district’s protocol provides her with paid administrative leave at this time.
