Report: L.A. Schools Oversight Broke Down

Amid sex abuse arrests.

In the wake of the arrest of a public school teacher at the Los Angeles Unified School District earlier this month on allegations of sex abuse in Miramonte Elementary School, The New York Times looked at the way the district oversees its employees and how they interacted with law enforcement. Many other reports and allegations of abuse surfaced after the arrest, and there’s been an intense spotlight on why so many accusations of abuse were not reported to the police. There’s also been worries that many parents, who are Latino immigrants, were reluctant to report the allegations to the police because of their status.
