A substitute teacher who was temporarily assigned to Barbara C. Jordan Intermediate school is accused of physically assaulting two students. Yorllin Hernandez , 42, was arrested Friday and charged with two counts of injury to a child with intent causing bodily injury, according to Cibolo police.
He has since been released from the Guadalupe County jail after posting bonds totaling $10,000. Hernandez was employed by ESS, a third-party staffing company, according to a statement released by the Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District. The school he was assigned to teaches fifth-and sixth-grade students and has 742 students enrolled. On Friday, the campus administrator was made aware of the incident at 2:40 p.m., which was at the start of school dismissal, officials said. The campus school resources officer kept Hernandez on the premises until Cibolo police arrived and investigated the incident. Cibolo police said that Hernandez had assaulted two students, based on witness testimonies and evidence gathered. The student's injuries were not life-threatening. District officials said Hernandez will not be returning to SCUC-ISD in any capacity. 'This news is deeply concerning, as such conduct is completely unacceptable,' the district said in a statement. 'The safety and well-being of our students is and always will be our top priority.' Officials said they are cooperating with the Cibolo and Schertz police as they continue their investigation and have asked parents to contact the respective law enforcement agency if they have information pertinent to their investigations. 'Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our children,' Cibolo police Chief Thedrick Andres said. On Thursday, Schertz police said their school resources officers were made aware of a report from two different juvenile victims involving allegations against a substitute teacher regarding a physical assault. Schertz police are investigating these allegations, but it was unclear if these reports also involved Hernandez. Chief Jim Lowery, with Schertz police, said that they are working collaboratively with SCUC-ISD, families of the students, and other law enforcement partners in Bexar County to ensure they 'act with due diligence to complete a timely and comprehensive investigation.' He said there are currently no safety concerns to any student as the allegations are under investigation. Anyone with information regarding a similar incident is asked to contact the school district or Schertz police at 210-619-1200.
