Miramonte School (Paige Brettingen).

The review was orders after a long-time teacher at Miramonte Elementary School was arrested on 23 counts of lewd conduct.

Mark Berndt, 61, allegedly feed cookies to his students that contained his own semen.  Among a list of other wrongdoings, Berndt's questionable behavior had not resulted in repercussions prior to the most recent incident.

From the Los Angeles Times:

L.A. Unified did not "property notify" the state’s Commission on Teacher Credentialing "when required to do so, such as when an employee with a certificate to teach is dismissed while an allegation of misconduct is pending," the auditors wrote. The review “found that the district failed to report as required at least 144 cases — including cases involving employee misconduct against students — submitted a year or more late when the district finally did report them.”

Of these cases, “31 were more than three years late when they were reported to the commission. As a result of the delays in reporting these cases, the commission was not able to determine promptly whether it was appropriate to revoke the teachers’ certificates and thus prevent the individuals from working in other school districts,” auditors asserted.
