Austin LBJ Early College High School teacher arrested, charged with indecency with child

A teacher at LBJ Early College High School has been arrested and charged with indecency with a child by exposure and two counts of improper educator-student relationship, all second degree felonies, according to a letter the Austin school district sent to parents Wednesday.

The Austin school police arrested Rodney Childers, who has taught band, piano and choir at LBJ since August 2023, according to the letter. Childers was placed on administrative leave, the district said.

A parent first reported an allegation about a July 25 incident, Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Schools Angel Wilson said in the letter. Wilson didn’t provide details about the allegation, citing privacy concerns for the student and family involved.

“The safety of our students is our greatest concern,” Wilson said. “We are doing everything we can to understand how this incident occurred to prevent situations like this in the future.”
