The LAUSA has also faced criticism for its last-minute decision to offer teachers and other staff whopping pay rises costing taxpayers $1.2 billion despite students recording lower averages than the rest of the state.
The California Postcan now reveal that based on a newly uncovered deposition Chaitplayed an integral role in allowing rapist pedophile coach Terry Gillard to return his role at John H. Francis Polytechnic High School in April 2016.
Gillard, who is now serving 71 years prison, was placed on ”reassignment” and suspended from his role after being accused by a campus aide of repeatedly offering her money in exchange for sex, the deposition reveals.
Chait was questioned by attorney Morgan Stewart at the deposition about LASUD’s response after the aide reported Gillard as part of a compensation claim by his victims.
The investigation into Gillard’s behavior was assigned to the LAUSD’s Student Safety Investigation Team, or SSIT, the testimony shows.
Chait, who was the LAUSD administrator responsible for the northeast district at the time, didn’t send out the standard 72-hour notice to parents because ‘there were no students involved.”
