High-ranking Edinburg CISD employee, Rahman Matar, has been arrested on charges of harassment, adding to the growing list of misconduct allegations within the education system.
Principal Turns Himself In
Matar, 55, who serves as the principal of Economy High School, turned himself into authorities after a continued investigation that started in August. He has been charged with harassment and is currently on a $10,000 bond.
Harassing Text Messages in Group Chat
