Dubose, according to Floresville ISD’s website, works as a high school counselor.
According to the indictment obtained by KSAT Monday, DuBose is accused of striking a child younger than 14 years old with what was described as a pen holder or cup in May 2021.
Court paperwork classifies the charge as a state jail felony.
KSAT contacted Floresville ISD about DuBose’s arrest.
In response, the district issued a statement claiming the child was not a Floresville ISD student and that the incident did not involve the district.
The statement said that the district is cooperating with law enforcement.
FISD’s communications specialist told KSAT Friday that Dubose was still employed with the district and any action taken would depend on the results of the investigation.
Dubose was booked into the Wilson County Jail and her bond was set at $5,000.
According to Wilson County jail records, she was released on Friday.
