Authorities searched his home and have focused on the laptop computer, which was found in car when he was arrested, White said. School officials placed Carroll on administrative leave and have been trying to contact him to discuss the allegations, said District 65 Supt. Hardy Murphy.

He declined to give details other than plan for a sex act, which was to take place in a nearby wooded area. As union president for District 65 teachers, Carroll has clashed with school officials, most recently criticizing the board for extending contract last week.

Carroll has not worked with pupils for more than a year since he was elected full-time union president in May 2003, Murphy said. Serving a two-year term, Carroll remains employed by the school district as part of an agreement with the union, which pays the district a portion of the salary, Murphy said. Before that, Carroll taught 3rd through 5th grades at Kingsley Elementary School in Evanston for at least 10 years. District officials said that during that time they received no complaints about Carroll. School officials were drafting letters Monday that will be sent to parents and staff informing them of the procedures the district is following, Murphy said.

The district also is cooperating with Lake County authorities, who have asked officials to secure computer, Murphy said.

A contentious meeting last week ended with Mary Rita Luecke resigning her board presidency.

She disagreed with the board members who extended contract by a 4-3 vote. Carroll is an outspoken advocate for gay rights who made headlines in 1999 after he and his partner were turned away from a Methodist campground in Des Plaines. Carroll and his partner filed four discrimination lawsuits in 1999 against the United Methodist Historic Campground after being refused rental of a cottage at the campground. The couple accused administrators of discriminating against them based on their sexual orientation. The case is pending before the Cook County Human Rights Commission, according to the campground former president, who declined to comment further.

Carroll and his partner, who have two adopted sons, ages 6 and 9, were profiled in a 1999 report in the Chicago Tribune that detailed their conflict with the Methodist Church. The story described how the men were caring for one foster child and their first adopted son. Lake County police said they had contacted the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services regarding the two boys.
