ABILENE, Texas - <\/p>\n
A Taylor County grand jury on Thursday indicted Michael Trook former administrator at Holland Medical High School in Abilene ISD for having an improper relationship with a student. <\/p>\n
The district attorney's office confirmed Trook was indicted on two counts of improper relationship between a teacher and student. That's a second degree felony. <\/p>\n
According to a complaint filed with the DA's office, the charges stem from a sexual relationship Trook allegedly had with a female student in his office at Holland Medical School around December 10th. <\/p>\n
Trook, 29, resigned as dean of health sciences at the school that same month. <\/p>\n
At the time when Trook resigned and was arrested, then-Abilene ISD Superintendent Heath Burns sent a letter to parents, students and staff at Holland Medical School that said Trook admitted to having engaged in inappropriate, unprofessional and unethical conduct. <\/p>\n
Trook was a former associate principal at Abilene High School. He was with the Abilene ISD for three years and at Holland Medical High School between July 2015 and December 2015. <\/p>\n
Trooks case ignited a controversy that focused on Abilene ISDs handling of a series of alleged improper employee-student relationships. <\/p>\n
Burns resigned suddenly in February as Abilene police continued to investigate the allegations. <\/p>\n
Before Burns stepped down as Abilene ISD's superintendent, Abilene Police Chief Stan Standridge had strongly criticized Abilene ISD leaders namely Burns for how the district reported the cases to police. Standridge also questioned Burns cooperation during the investigations. <\/p>\n
