Montebello police unable to substantiate report of teacher misconduct with student
The Montebello Police Department says it has not been able to corroborate a report made last month alleging that a teacher engaged in “inappropriate conduct” with a student.
The Police Department issued a brief news release on the subject Thursday evening.
A police spokesperson said the Montebello Unified School District was made aware of the allegation on Feb. 26.
The subject of the report was a teacher at the Applied Technology Center, officials said.
Montebello police investigators worked in conjunction with the school district’s police department to look into the accusations but were unable to substantiate the claim, they said.
The teacher was not identified nor was any additional information released about the nature of the allegation.

The development comes on the heels of serious claims of bullying and sexual assault by parents and students at other schools in Montebello.
On Thursday, some parents protested outside the district’s building demanding accountability and more proactive intervention.
In relation to those claims of sexual assault and bullying, the school district said it conducted a thorough investigation which has since concluded.
It’s unclear if the February allegation made against the unnamed teacher is related in any way to recent unrest among some parents.
