ABILENE, Texas — A former Abilene Independent School District elementary school principal has been arrested by Abilene Police on fraud charges.
According to a release from the Abilene Police Department, in February, APD Narcotics Unit Department agents started an investigation of a former school principal at Bonham Elementary School with the AISD.
On Monday, April 4, 2022, Dr. Kyle Wiskow, 40, was arrested for second-degree felony fraudulent possession of prescription.
The APD said the case involved Wiskow stealing medication from the nurse’s office at the school where he was employed. The school district fully cooperated with this investigation.
AISD released the following statement regarding Wiskow's arrest:
"The Abilene Independent School District has been made aware of the arrest of Dr. Kyle Wiskow, the former principal of Bonham Elementary, on the charge of fraudulent possession of a prescription.
Dr. Wiskow was immediately placed on administrative leave on February 2 following concerns raised by district staff, and investigations were opened by AISD, the Abilene Police Department, and the State Board for Educator Certification. The district cooperated fully with the APD and SBEC investigations, and Dr. Wiskow resigned effective at the end of this year. Prior to the conclusion of those investigations, additional evidence was brought forth resulting in the APD arresting Dr. Wiskow today and filing charges against him.
The protection of our children is our top priority and we are committed to providing a safe and secure place for every AISD student to go to school. The district takes these situations extremely seriously and will continue to cooperate fully with law enforcement officials on this matter. We are thankful for the collaborative work of the APD and the diligent attention to school and student safety provided by our staff.
Thank you for your ongoing support of Abilene ISD and the trust you place in our district."
Wiskow was booked into the Taylor County Jail with bond set at $10,000.
