Riverbank Unified School Dist. V. Commission on Pr
This case arose when two sixth grade girls complained that a middle school special education teacher inappropriately touched them. The alleged touchings consisted of the teacher touching the girls’ shoulders to redirect their attention to their schoolwork, placing his hand over their hands to operate a computer mouse, and touching one of the girl’s breast. The teacher admitted touching each girl on the shoulder and on the hand, but denied touching the girl’s breast. The school district believed the girls’ version of events, determined all of the touchings were inappropriate, and dismissed the teacher for immoral conduct pursuant to Education Code section 44932, subdivision (a)(1).
