La Cañada school board member wants teacher fired
A member of the La Cañada Flintridge school board is calling for the ouster of a La Cañada High School math teacher who allegedly addressed a ninth-grade geometry student as “Jew boy” and otherwise angered parents.School board member Cindy Wilcox said she filed a formal complaint — as a member of the public — against teacher Gabrielle Leko in June, saying the complaint was based on numerous verbal grievances she received about Leko from school families. None of those families were willing to go on record with a complaint, she said.
