DRIPPING SPRINGS -- Kevin James McLean, a Dripping Springs (ISD) Middle School teacher, was arrested on Thursday, May 5, for participating in inappropriate communication with students. He was also accused of giving juveniles nicotine and THC vapes.

McLean was hired on Aug. 11, 2020, after passing a national, fingerprint-based background check required for all employees and was then assigned to teach and coach track at DSMS, according to a statement released by DSISD. On April 27, 2022, DSISD placed McLean on leave and immediately removed his access to all campuses and students related to alleged improper social media posts.
