Patricia Kemper, 54, a special education teacher at McSpedden Elementary, has been charged with injury to a child, a third‑degree felony punishable by 2 to 10 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.
Kemper’s arrest follows Frisco ISD’s report of the allegation to police, which prompted an immediate joint investigation. Frisco ISD says it immediately began cooperating with Frisco police once the allegation surfaced.

Teacher removed from campus immediately
According to Frisco ISD, Kemper has been placed on administrative leave and is prohibited from entering any district property. She has not been on campus or around students since the allegation was made, the district said in a news release Friday.
The school district said it is limited in what it can share due to the active investigation and personnel confidentiality laws. Counselors and campus administrators are available to support students, the district said.
Kemper turned herself in to the Collin County Sheriff’s Office earlier this week.
