District may review policies
The Los Angeles Unified School District board agreed Tuesday night to consider a resolution to review its employee sexual misconduct policies.
The measure calls for a review of all current student sexual abuse allegations, establishes a task force to determine if any additional policies are needed and calls on the district to begin negotiating information-sharing agreements with the Los Angeles Police Department and other law enforcement agencies.
The resolution comes after a Markham Middle School vice principal was charged with five counts of forcible lewd acts on a 13-year-old student.
The board is scheduled to vote on the resolution early next month.
