Stinnett Teacher Accused of Improper Relationship Surrenders

A teacher with PSP-CISD has turned herself in to the Hutchinson County Sheriff's Office following an indictment.

Kaylyn Paige Miller, 30, was indicted on June 30 by a Moore County grand jury on a charge of Improper Relationship Between Educator/Student. This offense, under Texas law, carries a punishment of up to 20 years in TDCJ and a fine of up to $10,000.

Miller is listed as a teacher at West Texas Middle School on the school's website. The offense is listed as having taken place on 1/10/2022 on Miller's booking and her bond has been set at $50,000.

She will appear in 316th District Court for her arraignment on July 27.
