Callisburg ISD employee arrested on online solicitation charge, placed on leave

Callisburg ISD removed an employee from campus and placed the employee on administrative leave after an arrest on a charge of online solicitation of a minor, Superintendent Chris Bradshaw wrote in a letter dated Sept. 9. Collinsville police said officers obtained a warrant before taking the employee into custody and that school officials were notified.

Grayson County jail records name the person booked as Spencer Brian Brewer and list the Collinsville Police Department as the arresting agency. The recorded charge is online solicitation of a minor involving sexual conduct. That record dates the alleged offense to Sept. 2, a week before the Sept. 9 booking. Its bond, release and disposition lines were blank when checked Sept. 10, which does not establish that bond was denied.

Bradshaw wrote that the employee left campus immediately, that the alleged conduct took place off campus, and that the district would cooperate with law enforcement and follow reporting requirements. Police did not specify the employee's teaching assignment. Federal education records put Callisburg ISD at roughly 1,150 students and about 90 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers in 2024-25.

Police said the case reached them through a group called EXPOSE DAT PREDATOR, which supplied material from an independent investigation using an adult decoy who posed online as a minor. Officers said they reviewed the evidence and statements, ran their own investigation, then obtained the warrant. The department's announcement described the investigation as ongoing and said everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. It does not say the decoy was presented as a teenage girl.

Texas tightened school misconduct reporting before this arrest. Senate Bill 571, signed June 21, 2025, created Chapter 22A of the Education Code and expanded misconduct-reporting requirements covering educators, other school employees and service providers, according to the Texas Education Agency. Agency guidance gives a principal 48 hours to notify the superintendent, and the superintendent 48 hours to notify TEA or the State Board for Educator Certification, after learning of evidence of covered misconduct, including sexual solicitation involving a student or minor. The guidance does not show when any Callisburg obligation began or whether the district has filed. TEA says a qualifying felony arrest indicating a student-safety risk can bring a temporary certificate suspension or Do Not Hire status. The agency also says it may pause its own work while a criminal case proceeds, and that an investigation does not always end in discipline.

Cases under the state solicitation statute differ sharply in their facts. Denton police reported that a grand jury indicted Jordan Hagen on Nov. 7, 2024, on six felony counts including online solicitation of a minor, in an investigation involving an actual 15-year-old girl and other alleged offenses, unlike the adult-decoy account Collinsville police gave.
