Parents Receive DVD of Principal and Teacher Having Sex at School
The principal, Leroy Coleman, is seen having sex with science teacher J anet Lofton in his office at Sandbridge Elementary School in Lynwood, Ill. A teacher's aid, Anjayla Reed, is also seen touching and hugging Coleman on the two hour video.
Brown has resigned citing health reasons. Lofton did the same citing family illness. Reed quit Friday without giving reasons for her departure.
Parent Kim Grivakis received the DVD in the mail on Wednesday. She spearheaded a Thursday parent's meeting.
Grivakis said, "It made me sick. It's very graphic. I can't tell you how graphic because I have two children standing right here."
The Cook county sheriff's office and state's attorney are investigating whether charges can be brought against school staff or the person who is responsible for the DVD.
Penny Mateck sheriff's department spokesperson said, "At this point we don't know if a crime has been committed"
The sheriff's office has a copy of the DVD and have identified the staff members who appear on the DVD.
John Izzo, an attorney for the district, said district officials have not seen the DVD but are investigating the situation.
"Somebody without permission gained access to confidential district office space and planted a surreptitious recording device, and that's frightening, There are confidential records there-student records."
Parents have expressed concern that some students seem aware of the misconduct.
"These kids need to not know about this stuff. They're too young," Lisa Claves complained. "You've even got kindergartens wondering what sexual things are, and it's not right."
"They should have handled the situation better than what they're doing. It's like they're more laid back about it," said parent Kareem Moseley, "and not only that, kids don't need to see nothing like that. It should have been more better handled than that."
It is not known when the DVD was recorded but time and date stamps suggest it was recorded in December and January.
Parents are planning a protest once spring break has ended.

Post a Commenti can't believe they will do somthing so invicious. why would we pay you to teach their kids if your in their gettin down? can you please tell me that makes sence,because that don't make sence.
You just can't have sex in the school. Good grief.
THOSE INDIVIDUALS USED BAD JUDGEMENT. ITS ASHAME THAT IT
COSTED THEM THEIR GOOD JOBS.
Great article...horrible behavior. Yet another reason to homeschool whenever possible. I hope no children saw the incident. Not that I like the fact that a principal and teacher did this at school, but if no children saw the event, it's not quite as bad. Was this an elementary school?
Good article, but horrible shame these things even happen
It's pretty sad that parents have to worry about what our kids are seeing and hearing in school.
That's awful! (But, I can't keep from laughing a little.) I guess it's better to resign than wait for dismissal.
The district is trying to downplay the sex by focusing on the recording device. "Student records." Ha!
Wow it doesn't even amaze me any longer what goes on in our schools, Great story!
That's a story! Off with their heads...err jobs in any teaching position!
