Teacher Removed from Elementary School in Wilmington
A teacher from George de la Torre Junior elementary School in Wilmington was removed from the school this past Friday in light of allegations of "inappropriately touching" one or more students.
The male teacher, whose name and teaching grade level remain undisclosed, is now on paid administrative leave.
Parents met with school officials Monday to discuss the allegations. LAPD Juvenile division detectives and members of the Los Angeles Unified School District are involved in this ongoing investigation.
The school's Administration notified parents of the "active investigation," but LAUSD spokeswoman Monica Carazo told the parents and public alike "it's only an allegation at this time."
