Sex offenders are slipping easily through the school safety nets

MySA.com: Metro | State: "Rape. Inappropriate touching. Indecent exposure. Sexual misconduct.

These were the stories percolating on four San Antonio school campuses from mid-December through last week.

And then came news that broke Tuesday: A student at Madison High School alleged she had a sexual relationship with a female teacher.

'We're in shock,' says Northeast Independent School District spokeswoman Laura Calderon.

The allegation at Madison follows others at Wilderness Oak Elementary, Rhodes Middle School, De Zavala Elementary and Clark High School.

No one has been arrested in any incident, but a teacher at Clark is dead. Tommy Ford took his life in late December after a student accused him of sexual misconduct.

The Northside Independent School District investigated and substantiated the student's claim."
