An investigation has been launched following reports a teacher from a Santa Clarita school behaved inappropriately with students.
The sexual misconduct probe into the Albert Einstein Academy staff member was launched after several minors reported the alleged behavior, Los Angeles Police Department said.
Detectives have worked closely with school administrators to ensure the staff member is not in contact with students after the investigation began.
The alleged incidents were initially reported to the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, but it was later determined the alleged crimes occurred in the City of Tujunga, which falls under the jurisdiction of the LAPD.
The investigation is on-going, and is being handled by the LAPD's Sexually Exploited Child Unit, Juvenile Division. The suspect is on administrative leave with pay until the investigation is resolved.
Albert Einstein Academy for Letters, Arts and Sciences is a public charter school. According to the school website it has both an elementary and a secondary campus in Santa Clarita.
In a letter sent out to parents last Friday school Principal Edward Gika said: "Be assured that we are taking all proper and necessary action, and that investigation into this matter is being handled by the proper authorities. Right now, our focus and concern is exclusively for our students, and we are most concerned about rumors and misinformation that could be hurtful to them."
