KPRC 2âs Bryce Newberry contacted Goose Creek CISD for a statement regarding Bocardoâs employment status.
The district confirmed she is no longer employed with GCCISD, and her separation date was Jan. 5, 2026.
She has been charged with improper relationship with a student and indecency with a child. She is not in custody as of this writing, according to court records and reporting information.
Bocardo is accused in court documents of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a 15-year-old male student. Records indicate she was 41 at the time of the alleged conduct.
KPRC 2 also contacted the Texas Education Agency regarding any potential state-level action involving Bocardoâs certification.
How Authorities Learned of the Incidents
Court documents state school officials first became aware of concerns on Dec. 12, 2025, after a Goose Creek Memorial High School assistant principal reported unusual comments made by the student.
According to the report, the student asked another campus staff member: âWhat happens to a district employee if they sexually assault a student?â
Investigators later began reviewing the situation after the studentâs mother also contacted the school, prompting an internal inquiry.
Court records say the victim later described the situation to detectives as a âweird relationship with a lady.â
The Counselorâs First Alleged Interactions
The student told investigators he first met Bocardo while in middle school. He described her as âvery nice and cool,â saying she would give him fidget toys and snacks while he completed schoolwork in her office.
She also allegedly made repeated inappropriate comments, calling him âhandsome,â and saying she loved him. He described the situation as inappropriate and said he did not initiate it.
After he finished middle school and started at Goose Creek Memorial in 2024, the student said he encountered Bocardo again on campus.
Court records allege she told him in the hallway that she had transferred to the school âto be with him.â
Documents said she later asked him if he was interested in dating an older person and if heâd be interested in dating her.
According to the studentâs statement in court documents, sexual interactions with Bocardo started happening in her office at Goose Creek Memorial during the school day.
Their first physical contact reportedly involved Bocardo walking over to the victim and kissing him, before sitting back down at her desk and saying, âSee, was that so hard?â
The student also said he spent significant time in her office doing schoolwork and speaking with her, and that interactions became more frequent over time.
He said she would kiss him aggressively and rub her body against his, even exposing herself to him. During one such alleged physical interaction, she reportedly said, âItâs wrong but it feels so good.â
The student also told officials that she told him about âhaving sex in her carâ and offered to pick him up if he ever wanted to do that with her.
Court records said other students began to question why the victim was spending so much time with a counselor who was not assigned to his grade.
He also said his mental health had deteriorated from depression and stress stemming from the alleged abuse, and his grades had begun to slip.
Court records state the student later disclosed the situation to school staff and asked that he no longer be required to have contact with Bocardo.
Investigators reportedly reviewed messages between the two that occurred outside of school hours.
Some of the communications, according to records, contained emotionally suggestive language, including Bocardo allegedly sending â143âłâcommonly known as a numeric code for âI love youââon two separate occasions.
