DCI: Rumor or Real?

[Anonymous]

How true is this rumor of a DCI teacher caught having s*x with a student?

[Anonymous]

wtf!!!!! 🥺

Wow! So many questions -- how did you hear about it? How legitimate is the source? Did anyone get fired? Do you think the school will try to sweep it under the rug?

To the school's credit, they told all parents and students about this a couple of weeks ago. The email begins "We are aware of allegations that one of our high school staff members engaged in inappropriate conduct involving a student. The safety and wellbeing of our students is and will always be our highest priority. As soon as we became aware of these allegations, we promptly notified law enforcement and other appropriate authorities, and have taken and continue to take necessary steps in line with our policies, values, and applicable law to support student safety and wellbeing, including those directly affected." It goes on with more information (nothing specific about the allegations), support for students/parents/staff, MPD contact info, etc.

I feel very sad for the student affected.

Good for the school. (I taught at a school where this happened and it was completely hushed up).

Really? If law enforcement is involved it is going to be in the news. The school can’t ignore it. I wouldn’t exactly congratulate them.

DP. You have a reading comprehension problem. The school was the one who notified the law enforcement. It was not the other way around.

I agree with PP above that the school did the right thing in notifying law enforcement and communicating to families in a timely manner and transparency of such.

Yikes. Kudos for them taking appropriate action as fast as they could. How unfortunate.

What else was the school supposed to do other than report it. They are mandated reporters. They legally have to report it. I’m glad they did but don’t think this is above and beyond.

They didn't waste any time and informed the police, the board, and parents immediately. This does not always happen (looking at you, LAMB)

No. You are misreading. That pp was responding to the person who was at a DIFFERENT school that covered it up.

They could break the law and not report it! I won’t say it happens “all the time” but it happens

You're clearly out of touch with the fact that in school district after school district, the fact that police are involved does not stop them from trying to hush it up and silence everyone from discussing it. Emails like the one posted here never happen until after it blows up and the school half-heartedly says "We're on it". So yeah, DCI does deserve kudos for being straightforward about it, I wish all schools were up front that way. Most are not.

Yes another DP, no YOU are misreading. This conversation is still only one page, how hard is it to keep up? Not hard at all. The post in question was saying DCI didn't deserve any congratulations.
