The Prosper ISD school board unanimously elected Debra Smith as board president and Kelly Cavender as board vice-president after the resignation of Andrew Wilborn, who was arrested last month.
– Tuesday night, the Prosper ISD school board met for the first time since school board president Andrew Wilborn resigned. The incident did not involve any Prosper ISD students – but as you can imagine, it raises questions about leadership within the district.
Police say Wilborn inappropriately touched a 16-year-old last April while he was an executive pastor at Antioch Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church. Prosper ISD said they were unaware of the allegations until after his arrest. At Tuesday's school board meeting, parents also expressed their heartache over a Prosper ISD bus driver accused of sexually assaulting two sisters last year and the recent arrest of two high schoolers for the murder of a 19-year-old from Little Elm. Pope and other parents told the school board they want better leadership. "Based on previous history we do not trust you to appoint another person as the one that you appointed was just arrested," another parent said.
