A one-time Teacher of the Year in Allen Independent School District is on leave following allegations he engaged in “inappropriate communication” with middle school students.
On Tuesday, Allen ISD notified Curtis Middle School families that Trey Stolp had been removed from the classroom and placed on administrative leave while the Allen Police Department investigates “for criminal intent.”
Stolp is an eighth grade English teacher who has taught at the school for eight years.
In 2021, Stolp was named Curtis Middle School’s Teacher of the Year and Allen ISD’s Secondary Teacher of the Year.
He is also the staff sponsor for the Literature Club and the Hope Squad, an organization that encourages kids to talk about suicide. According to its website, Hope Squad content “aligns closely with social-emotional learning.”
The district has already scrubbed several references to Stolp from its website and social media sites.
State records show Stolp has held a teaching certificate since 2016 and most recently renewed his certification in 2023.
Allen ISD stated that district officials reported the allegations to the Texas Education Agency’s State Board for Educator Certification and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
The district encouraged anyone with information or questions about Stolp to contact Allen PD.
The day before sharing news about Stolp, Allen ISD notified Lowery Freshman Center families that a security monitor at the school had been arrested for soliciting sex with a child.
Tiller Carrington Reed, 33, was arrested last week and charged with online solicitation of a minor, a third-degree felony.
A minor is any child younger than 17 years old, the legal age of consent in Texas.
Allen ISD had employed Reed since November 2024 but has now fired him, according to the district’s notice.
The notice stated that Reed, “as with all employees, was required to undergo a fingerprint-based criminal background check that identifies criminal history results through both the FBI and the Texas Department of Public Safety.”
Collin County court records show Reed had two prior arrests for possession of marijuana, in 2014 and 2015. He received deferred adjudication for the first charge, but after reoffending within the probationary period, he was judged guilty and sentenced to nine days in jail.
As with Stolp, Allen ISD stated that district officials reported Reed to DFPS and TEA.
State records indicate that Reed does not hold a teaching certificate. As of March 25, his name did not appear in the TEA’s Do Not Hire Registry of individuals not eligible to be employed by a public school.
Reed was booked into the Collin County Jail on March 16 and released the next day on a $75,000 bond.
He is the second Allen ISD employee in two months to be arrested for online solicitation of a minor.
Jason Giuliani, a contract custodian at Curtis Middle School, was arrested in February after attempting to solicit an underage girl during an online sex trafficking sting.
Another district employee, Allen High School science teacher Albert Najera, was placed on “indefinite administrative leave” last April while police investigated allegations of an “inappropriate” relationship with a student.
In November 2024, Najera permanently surrendered his teaching certificate and was placed on the Do Not Hire Registry.
In just the past few years, hundreds of Texas school employees have been accused of sex crimes involving students and other children.
