Special Education teacher arrested on marijuana charge.
By: ERICKA MELLON
Another Houston ISD teacher was arrested today on suspicion of marijuana possession as part of the school district's ongoing searches of employee parking lots.
The employee, whose name was not released, is a teaching assistant in the special education department at Harper Alternative School.
The employee is at least the third arrested since HISD Superintendent Abelardo Saavedra announced last week that the district planned to send drug-sniffing dogs to all employee parking lots in coming weeks.
Saavedra's decision came after about 15 employees had been arrested after police said they had marijuana or prescription drugs in their cars at school. Most of the early arrests were prompted by anonymous tips to Houston Independent School District police.
On Thursday, two employees were arrested on marijuana possession charges after police swept the parking lot at HISD's central administration building.
Searches of 14 schools on Friday resulted in no arrests.
