Speaking of Busted...
Oh boy, this one is brutal too, and I can't imagine LAUSD is feeling too good right now!
Behold: The Los Angeles Times reports today that, and I quote, "Senior Los Angeles school officials, including the district's police chief and its former chief operating officer, knew of sex allegations against a school administrator months before he was transferred to a Watts middle school, where he allegedly molested two students, officials said Monday."
Uh-oh.
This all concerns the recent allegations againt former Assistant Principal Steve Thomas Rooney, accused of molesting two students at Markham Middle School and one girl at the Foshay Learning Center. Rooney was arrested in March and is being held in lieu of $1-million bail, the Times says.
And just moments ago, LAUSD's newly named Senior Deputy Superintendent Ray Cortines released a statement -- a seven-page document, mind you, of text, flowcharts, matrixes and bulletpoints -- saying, among other things, that there was a "breakdown in the usual, official line of communication" and that, "(a)s a result of this regrettable occurrence, we have begun correcting our process."
Again, OMG and again, uh-oh.
