APS teacher arrested after accusations of sexual relationships with students
Albuquerque man who founded an aerospace start-up company facing federal charges
A little over a year ago, Albuquerque Public School teachers reported concerning behavior from a John Adams Middle School teacher while out on a field trip to Urban Air. A criminal complaint stated that while on the bus to Urban Air, teachers and the bus driver saw then 33-year-old Patrick Corr lying across two female students' laps after he was told to sit down. Also on that trip, a student said she felt extremely uncomfortable seeing Corr pick up and toss a handful of female students in the ball pit, she claims without consent.
That was all reported to the school's principal and an internal investigation began.
Corr was placed on administrative leave at the end of the 2024 school year, as APS police investigated. That was just the tip of the iceberg. As the next school year started, staff found letters in Corr's classroom from students. The letters calling the teacher, 'Daddy Corr,' 'hot,' and that 'they love him.'
The complaint goes on to mention two female victims, a 16-year-old and and a 17-year-old, who spent the night at Corr's home. The 17-year-old was Corr's former student.
She said they had been Snapchatting since 2020, when she started eighth grade and they also sent inappropriate photos to each other at least once. She told officers he bought alcohol for her and her 16-year-old cousin before taking them to his home.
The complaint states the teen was drunk but remembers Corr having sex with her, and the following morning he gave her Plan B. Another teen victim claimed that while drinking, Corr got her pregnant twice. She ended both pregnancies.
A search warrant from Corr's Snapchat account showed 50 usernames were either former students at John Adams or were currently enrolled there.
Police arrested Corr Monday night, he faces a slew of charges including three counts of having sex with a minor.
The conduct Patrick Corr is accused of is reprehensible. APS Police first began its investigation into an allegation against Mr. Corr in May 2024, and he was placed on leave that same month. He tendered his resignation on May 14, 2025. Due to the allegations being criminal in nature and because we didn't want to jeopardize the criminal case, we allowed the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office to take the lead in the investigation in August 2024. APS has cooperated throughout the investigation.
Prior to being hired by APS, Mr. Corr underwent an extensive background check, which included being fingerprinted, and he cleared that background check. Mr. Corr was a teacher at John Adams Middle School from 2019 until he was placed on leave. As the investigation is still ongoing, the district will have no further comment at this time.

Park Avenue shooting victim Julia Hyman was killed right after leaving panic room
NEW YORK — The last of the Park Avenue mass shooter's final victims was in temporary safety in a panic room, only to be killed when she stepped outside of it during a lull in the gunfire, police sources and authorities said. Initially, it was believed that the victim, Rudin Management associate Julia Hyman, 27, may have thought the gunman, Shane Tamura, had left the area, the sources said. However, now police say that Hyman simply had gone to the bathroom, had not heard shots being fired and was unaware of Tamura before she fatefully stepped back out into the office. The shooter was nearby, the sources said, having moments earlier fired his assault-style rifle at a cleaner he first encountered when he blasted his way into the 33rd-floor office. The sources said the 27-year-old shooter can be seen on video turning toward Hyman when he heard her step out from the bathroom that houses the secured panic room. After Hyman was struck by gunfire, she stumbled to a cubicle, collapsed in a chair and died, Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Kaz Daughtry said. According to authorities, Tamura — who believed he suffered from traumatic brain injury from playing high school football — had meant to shoot up the National Football League's offices, which are in the same high-rise building but on lower floors. He mistakenly took an elevator that did not stop at the NFL's floors, instead winding up on the 33rd floor. _____

Trump Is Bringing Back the Presidential Fitness Test
If you spent your childhood struggling to do chin-ups or groaning over a sit-and-reach box in gym class, brace yourself. Today, President Trump signed an executive order to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test in public schools. The move is part of the administration's goal to 'restore urgency in improving the health of all Americans,' according to a statement released by the White House. The test, which was introduced in 1966, has taken several forms over the years. The most recent version included a one-mile run, modified sit-ups, a 30-foot shuttle run, the sit-and-reach flexibility test and a choice between push-ups and pull-ups. In the last iteration, children who scored in the top 15 percent nationwide earned a Presidential Physical Fitness Award. The Trump administration has yet to announce which exercises will be included in the new test. In 2012, the Obama administration replaced the Presidential Fitness Test with a program called the Presidential Youth Fitness Program, which was less focused on standardized fitness benchmarks. Some fitness and child development experts have criticized the Presidential Fitness Test as too rigid. Children who are the same age, for instance, could be very different sizes or at different developmental stages. And focusing on scores, experts said, could risk turning some children off exercise altogether. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
