Boerne MSN Principal resigns following recent DUI arrest

Boerne Middle School North Principal Daniel Owen resigned Wednesday, following his arrest last week for driving while intoxicated, according to school officials.  Owen was arrested by the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office at around 4:30 a.m. Friday, June 6, on charges of driving while intoxicated and unlawful carrying of a weapon.

Daniel Owen, 48, was booked into the Kendall County Jail.  He was released on Friday after posting a $10,000 bail.

Court records show that this is Owen’s second DWI offense.  He was previously arrested for the same offense in 2001.

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.

Boerne ISD central office staff are on 226-day contracts, Boerne ISD principal contracts ended June 5; his arrest occurred just hours later.
