KENDALL WEST, Fla. – A Miami-Dade County Public Schools teacher was reassigned pending the results of an investigation into a relationship with a high school student.
The MDCPS teacher works at John A. Ferguson Senior High School, at 15900 SW 56 St., in Kendall West. The school district released a statement saying a teacher was on an “alternate assignment” over an allegation of “impropriety” during a communication with a student.
Nicholas Milian, a freshman, Max Vargas, a junior, and William Bover, a senior, said most students are aware of the ongoing investigation.
“It has been a very hot topic of discussion at Ferguson lately,” Max said. “There has been a lot of rumors going around.”
PARENTS
Most of the parents who were waiting to pick up their kids on Tuesday afternoon said they were not aware of the investigation.
Some said they received an e-mail and a robocall to notify them of the teacher’s reassignment. Juan Rivas has a daughter who is a sophomore at the school.
“Even though my daughter told me nothing happened, and they told me not to worry about it, I kept thinking something might have happened,” Rivas said.
