State Board expected to revoke license of G.C. teacher who had sex with student

The State Board of Education is expected to revoke the teaching license of a former Golden City teacher who pleaded guilty May 1 in Jasper County Circuit Court to a misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a child.

The revocation of Jacey Stahl's license is among the topics on the agenda for the Tuesday, June 6 board meeting.

Stahl is surrendering her license as part of the plea bargain agreement with the Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office in which a felony sex with a student charge was dismissed in exchange for Stahl's plea to the misdemeanor charge. She was placed on unsupervised probation for two years.

State Department officials are recommending that the board accept the surrender of Stahl's license.

Stahl's written statement to the board dated May 16 contains no mention of the original charge or details of the plea bargain charge, which included having sex with a 15-year-old boy and attempting to tamper with evidence.

I was charged in Jasper County, Missouri with the Class A misdemeanor offense of endangering the welfare of a child, second degree in violation of Section 568.050 RSMo.

On May 1, 2023, a judgment was entered against me in the Circuit Court of Jasper County, Missouri finding me guilty of the above offense. As part of the disposition of the criminal charge, I agreed to surrender my certificate of license to teach.

I hereby give notice of my intent and request that my teaching certificate and any indicia of my teaching certificate be revoked by the State Board of Education. I hereby voluntarily waive all rights to any hearing, appeal, and all other procedural hearings that may be available to me in regard to my certificate to teach.

I hereby voluntarily grant my consent for the office of the Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney to release any information in its possession pertaining to the above criminal offense for which I have been found guilty to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for the purpose of facilitating  the revocation of my teaching certificate.

I hereby acknowledge that I am represented by Attorney, Erica Mynarich and have had adequate time to review this document and discuss my rights with them before executing this document and acknowledge that I have been fully advised and understand its contents and the consequences of executing this Statement of Surrender.

Jasper County Circuit Court records indicate DESE requested Stahl's files May 9 and they were mailed May 11.
