A longtime Plano ISD teacher is facing a child sexual abuse charge after being arrested Wednesday, according to Plano police.
Paul Campbell, who taught at Brinker Elementary School for 28 years, was booked into the Plano City Jail on a charge of continuous sexual abuse of a child. He has since been transferred to the Collin County jail where he remained Thursday night.
Police said the investigation began after an eight-year-old student, who is in the second grade, made an outcry to family members on July 4.
According to an arrest affidavit released Thursday, the student told her sisters about the alleged abuse. They, in turn, told a parent who notified police.
The affidavit states the girl reported that, “Campbell would call girls over behind his desk and touch their private parts.”
The affidavit says a second eight-year-old girl independently described being touched inappropriately by Campbell more than once.
After interviewing the children, police obtained an arrest warrant and took Campbell into custody without incident.
Jerry Minton with the Plano Police Department said Campbell was arrested after arriving at a meeting at the Plano ISD administration building.
“There was a meeting at the Plano admin building this AM and when he showed up he was arrested in the parking lot when he got out of his car,” said Minton.
Police allege the abuse occurred during the 2025-26 school year at Brinker Elementary.
Investigators are now working to determine whether there are additional victims. Because Campbell spent decades teaching elementary school students, detectives said some people with information may now be adults.
“Even if you’re over 18, 20, 30 years old, with him being there for so long and he taught in an elementary school, if you had any experience that was uncomfortable with Mr. Campbell, then come forward and let us know,” Minton said.
The arrest has left many parents in the Brinker Elementary community in shock.
Melissa Borovay, whose oldest child was tutored by Campbell and whose three children attended Brinker Elementary, said she was devastated when she learned of the arrest.
“It hit hard. Made you feel sick,” Borovay said.
Borovay said Campbell was a familiar presence at school events and had always appeared to have positive relationships with students.
“If there’s an event at Brinker, he’s present with a smile. Always had a good relationship with the kids, and so it hits you with total shock and disbelief,” Borovay said.
She said the allegations have shaken the trust that has long defined the school community.
“It’s close to home. It’s in our home, and it’s hard to swallow,” Borovay said.
During an emergency meeting called by the Plano ISD on Thursday night, board members voted to begin the process of firing Campbell.
Trustees voted unanimously to send Campbell notice of proposed termination for good cause at the end of the meeting, which, without naming Campbell, cited on its agenda, “egregious and unlawful allegations of misconduct that jeopardize student safety.”
“This action is necessary to ensure appropriate action is taken prior to the return of teachers and staff from summer break and to maintain the health and safety of students,” PISD Superintendent Dr. Theresa Williams said during the meeting.
NBC 5 has been unable to reach anyone for comment on Campbell’s behalf.
TEA records show his educator certificate is currently under review by the TEA Educator Investigations Division.
