“Important Update 12-8-22
Kuna Middle School families
We are cooperating with law enforcement in the investigation of charges involving a teacher arrested this morning at Kuna Middle School.
As you may have seen in public reports, Ada County Sheriff’s Officers arrested Cory R. Gaylor and charged him with child enticement and lewd conduct with a child under 16. Mr. Gaylor’s classes include Spanish, Introduction to World Cultures, Advisory and Intervention.
With the arrest, Mr. Gaylor has been placed on administrative leave and will not return to teaching in our school or district pending the resolution of the charges against him.
As you can imagine, this news is concerning for our students and staff. We are putting plans in place to help support our students who may have been impacted by the news and will have counselors available for students to talk to within the coming days. We also ask for your help in talking with your students. If they have concerns that our counseling staff can help with, please let them know that counselors are available.
Please feel free to contact Ms. Shelly Manuel, Ms. Shea Clemens, and Mr. Pete Noteboom at 208.922.1002.
Thank you for your continued support of students, teachers and staff.
Superintendent Wendy Johnson
Kuna School District

“”Greetings fellow explorer! My name is Cory Gaylor. Traveling and connecting with foreign cultures is my #1 passion. I first began traveling at the age of 19 when I volunteered to serve a 2-year mission for my church deep in the heart of South America. Then, shortly following my return, I joined the U.S. Army where, over the course of 24 years, I was able to continue visiting other countries. By the time I retired from the Army I had visited or lived in over 30 countries throughout Europe, Central America, South America, Asia, and the Middle East. Being able to connect with all of those different cultures on a personal level has provided me with deeper cultural understanding and insight than even the most prestigious of universities can offer.
After retiring from the military, I decided that I wanted to share my travel experiences with other people. I earned a Master’s Degree in Education and became a Spanish and World Cultures teacher for grades 6-12. While teaching, I had the opportunity to not only share my experiences with my students, I even organized student group tours to Europe and Costa Rica. Seeing the excitement in my students’ eyes as they began to truly experience the world around them sparked in me the desire to help even more people see these same experiences come to life. This desire inspired me to create Sendero Travel Services. My mission and purpose with Sendero Travel Services is to help other people experience the incomparable joys of connecting with new cultures around the world through travel. The Spanish word “sendero” translates to “path” or “trail”, and is representative of the unforgettable journey that will take my clients around the globe.
Are you ready to break out of your everyday routine and relax on the sandy beaches of Costa Rica? Can you imagine waking up to the sound of tropical birds and monkeys in the rain forest? How about exploring Neuschwanstein castle in German Bavaria? Or going all the way to the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France? The options are nearly as endless as your imagination. Call or email today to begin planning your journey to discovery.””
