Boerne Middle School North Principal Daniel Owen resigned Wednesday, following his arrest last week for driving while intoxicated, according to school officials.
A letter from Superintendent Dr. Kristin Craft addressed to "BMSN families and staff" told of Owen's resignation after he'd been placed on paid administrative leave Monday.
"Under Mr. Owen's guidance, BMSN has continued to excel academically and foster a supportive, student-centered environment," Craft wrote. "His commitment to excellence and to building a strong campus culture has been evident in the success of our students and staff."
Dr. John O'Hare, Boerne ISD chief administrative officer, will guide the search for Owen's successor.
Kendall County sheriff's deputies stopped Owen, 48, late Thursday and charged him with driving-while-intoxicated-second offense and for unlawful carrying of a weapon, according to reports.
Owen, booked into the detention center at 4:36 a.m., was released at 1:30 p.m. June 6 from the Kendall County Detention Center on a $10,000 bond.
School officials released information Monday stating Owen, Boerne Middle School North principal since the 2019-2020 school year, was placed under administrative leave with pay while the district investigates the incident.
While Boerne ISD central office staff are on 226-day contracts, Boerne ISD principal contracts ended June 5; his arrest occurred just hours later.
