Rochester, NEW YORK

Nov 21, 2006 - A teacher who was arrested and charged with sexual abuse was fired after his arrest but before a grand jury cleared him. The school district lost its latest court fight to keep a teacher’s aide cleared of sex abuse charges from returning to the classroom.

The school district was told to rehire the teacher by an arbitrator. Previously, the school district had paid $67,000 to settle a lawsuit by the family of the boy. They had charged that the teacher had been previously warned.
