A former teacher at College Station’s International Leadership of Texas (ILT) K-8 school is arrested on a charge of aggravated sexual assault of a 12 year old student. The College Station police arrest report says 46 year old Jose Hernandez-Grimaldo denies the attack that took place after school in February of 2023. The victim says Grimaldo pulled her into a bathroom, covered her mouth, and threatened to kill her if she screamed or told anyone what he did to her. CSPD investigators learned Grimaldo was fired after he touched four female students. Grimaldo, who lives in the Dallas suburb of Seagoville according to Brazos County jail records, was booked Wednesday (May 29) and is held in lieu of a $200,000 dollar bond.
May’s regular meeting of the College Station ISD school board included approving health insurance rates and discussion of pay increases for the 2024-25 school year. The board approved the administration’s recommendation that the district increase its health insurance contribution by an average of six percent and employees also paying an average increase of six percent. Superintendent Tim Harkrider pointed out CSISD contributes $150 to $200 dollars a month more towards employee health insurance than comparable districts. He says that is something more employees…current and prospects…need to review along with their salary.

The CSISD board’s pay raise discussion included chief financial officer Amy Drozd recommending to not change what is known as step increases for returning teachers, librarians, and nurses. She estimated that cost at $539,570. Administrators plan to make a recommendation for a cost of living raise during the June meeting. The superintendent said “We also have to realize that our most important resource is our teachers and staff members. And so based on our current fund balance, based on the unknown, I still feel like the best for the school district that we have to give a raise moving forward.” Click HERE to read and download presentation materials regarding health insurance and pay raises during the May 21, 2024 CSISD school board meeting.

Law enforcement agencies from Grimes and Brazos counties were involved in a chase Tuesday night (May 28) that began in the Keith community near Gibbons Creek lake and ended in east Bryan’s Oakmont subdivision. The Grimes County sheriff’s office Facebook page says the driver avoided stop sticks several times, one which involved nearly hitting a DPS trooper. During the pursuit, the driver called the Brazos County sheriff’s office and said he would fire his pistol if law enforcement got too close. The chase went through Bryan and College Station before ending in the area of University Drive East and Oakmont Circle. 54 year old John May of Iola was returned to Grimes County on two warrants and new charges related to the chase. This marks May’s third trip to jail in two months. Brazos County jail records show May was released May 6 on bond following his arrest on drug charges and on April 4 after posting bond on charges from College Station and Gaines County. Brazos County court records show May is awaiting five criminal trials, four of them on drug charges.
