Department of Education opens Title IX investigation into Los Angeles Unified School District over handling of teachers accused of sexual misconduct
The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights announced a directed investigation into LAUSD on Tuesday, alleging the district automatically reassigns teachers accused of sexual misconduct to other schools rather than removing them. The DOE statement claims LAUSD appears to be protecting sexual predators at the expense of student safety. The investigation will determine whether the district's handling of allegations violated Title IX.
