(11/02/09 – Initial BadBadTeacher.com Report)
Matthew Martin Tillman, 33, a history teacher and girls’ volleyball coach at Spring High School in Spring, Texas has reportedly been arrested on allegations of having an improper relationship with a 17-year-old female student.

Tillman is reportedly charged with three felonies including two counts of improper relationship with a student and improper contact based on text messages investigators allegedly found on cell phones.
The alleged incidents are said to have occurred between May 1 and September 24th of this year.
Matthew Tillman, who has reportedly worked at the school for ten years, is reportedly on paid administrative leave from the school system.
Tillman made an initial court appearance on Monday morning before District Judge Mike Anderson who reduced Tillman’s bond from $150,000 to $60,000. Following his court appearance, Tillman was released on bond.
If convicted, Tillman faces from two to twenty years in prison on each felony count.
Tillman is the second Spring High School teacher to face criminal charges in less than thirty days. Deanna Higgins was charged on October 12th with having an improper relationship with a 16-year-old student and sexual assault of a child.
In light of the allegations against Tillman and Higgins, prosecutors are asking parents of Spring High School students during the past 10 years to talk to their children about inappropriate behavior and request that anyone with similar complaints against Tillman contact the Harris County District Attorney’s office at 713-755-5800.
