Pampa Independent School District officials have confirmed that an employee at Pampa Junior High School was arrested on charges related to child pornography following a law enforcement investigation in Potter County.
According to a statement released by the district, school officials were notified by law enforcement that a search warrant had been executed at the employee’s Potter County residence. Authorities also informed the district that the employee had been taken into custody.
The district did not release the employee’s name, specific charges or additional details surrounding the arrest.
School officials acknowledged that the allegations could raise concerns among parents, students and staff, but emphasized that student safety remains the district’s top priority.
Based on information currently available, district officials believe the alleged criminal activity occurred outside the school environment.
The district also reported that investigators have provided no indication that Pampa ISD students were involved in the alleged offenses.
Additionally, officials said there is no evidence suggesting district-owned computers, electronic devices or other technology resources were used in connection with the alleged activity.
No other district employees are currently known to be implicated in the investigation.
Pampa ISD officials confirmed that corrective action has been taken regarding the employee, although the district did not specify what those actions involved.
School administrators also indicated that they do not believe there is an ongoing threat to students.
The district said it is cooperating fully with law enforcement authorities and following their guidance as the investigation moves forward.
Because the case involves an active criminal investigation, confidential personnel matters and potentially sensitive information involving children, school officials said they are limited in what additional information they can publicly disclose.
Parents and community members seeking further details about the criminal investigation are being directed to law enforcement authorities.
