Springfield’s school superintendent admits that the district has failed in some cases to follow procedures that are supposed to ensure that only qualified, certified teachers are hired for the city’s schools.
One such teacher… who was hired for a slot at Lanphier High School despite lacking certification to teach at the high school level… is now on unpaid leave after being accused of having a sexual relationship with at least two students.
Superintendent Walter Milton says a review is underway to determine how many other teachers may have been improperly hired.
