## Resource

A Wetumpka High School band director was arrested in Louisiana on charges of attempted child solicitation and indecent behavior with a minor, posting a $50,000 bond and being released the next day. The school confirmed the arrest without naming the employee, emphasizing student safety and pledging to terminate any staff member charged with such a crime. The offense, involving online contact with a minor under 17, carries up to 10 years in prison and potential internet use restrictions. The school had recently advertised the position with photos matching the arrested individual, adding a layer of shock to the unfolding legal and personnel crisis.
