The principal of Baldwin Middle-Senior High School was arrested Monday on a charge of failing to report child abuse, according to Duval County Public Schools.

Michael Aaron Townsend, 48, was released from jail Tuesday, a day after he was jailed on $10,000 bond, according to jail records.

Townsend had recently been reassigned after the school district began an internal investigation into him earlier this month, district officials said.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is assisting in the case at the district’s request. The State Attorney’s Office determined there was sufficient evidence to issue an arrest warrant, the district says.

No further details were released.

The assistant superintedent in charge of the school sent a message Monday to Baldwin Middle-Senior parents. It alerted them to Townsend’s arrest, saying that it is “important that we remain transparent with our school communities,” but the message included no other information about what led to Townsend’s incarceration.

Duval County Schools officials referred Jacksonville Today to the Sheriff’s Office when asked whether the principal’s arrest was linked to the arrest May 22 of a teacher at the same school.

The teacher, James Mulvey, was charged with offenses on students by authority figures, according to jail records. Authorities have not connected the two arrests, and a Sheriff’s Office spokesperson was unable to comment.

A media request for Townsend’s arrest report is pending.

Mulvey’s arrest report said “a concerned student” brought a series of emails between Mulvey and a juvenile victim to the attention of police due to what was called “an ongoing relationship.”

The report includes excerpts of emails from Mulvey that said in part,” I don’t want to forget about you.” The student responds, in part, that “I can’t stop thinking you’re going to leave me.”

The arresting officer stated that the arrest was made because it was reasonable to believe that the teacher “has been engaged in a romantic, although not physical, relationship with the juvenile victim” during the school year, the report said.
