Educator accused of child sex abuse taught at McKinney middle school at the time, police say

A North Texas educator has been arrested on a charge of child sex abuse.

Kirby Glynn Smith, 50, was booked into the Collin County jail Tuesday on one count of continuous sexual abuse of a child. He remained in custody Wednesday, with bail set at $100,000.

McKinney police said the arrest came after a boy reported abuse. They did not release any other details about the charge.

At the time of the alleged reported abuse, Smith was a teacher at Cockrill Middle School in the McKinney ISD, police said. He is currently the assistant principal at Van Alstyne Middle School.

Van Alstyne ISD Superintendent David Brown wrote in a letter to parents that Smith has been placed on administrative leave and is not allowed on any district property. He said his district was cooperating with authorities.

Police said they did not know of any other potential victims. Anyone with information about the case may call police at 972-547-2710.

Smith did not have an attorney listed in court records.
