Former Students Resolve Claims Regarding Teacher Conduct 

Wednesday, April 26, 2023

San Diego - Several former students have resolved their claims regarding the conduct of a now retired La Jolla High School teacher. Due in part to the efforts of Loxie Gant, one of the claimants in this matter, the district convened a task force in 2018 to review its policies and procedures for handling allegations of sexual assault, which has resulted in changes and improvements that have since been implemented. The district will continue to review and update these policies annually to remain current and consistent with the latest improvements in best practices and laws. The district respects the courage of the claimants in this matter for speaking out and remains committed to making the safety of its students a top priority.
