OAKLAND, Calif. -- A teacher has been suspended and the Oakland police have been called in after reports surfaced of two shocking sexual incidents involving second graders at an elementary school, a school district official said Friday.
Oakland Unified spokesman Troy Flint told KTVU that a male teacher had been suspended with pay while the incidents were being investigated. The teacher has told district officials he had no knowledge of the incidents.
Students were also being questioned, he said, and the Oakland police have been called in.
A letter sent out to parents, caregivers and staff at Oakland’s Markham Elementary by the school’s Principal Pam Booker on Thursday expressed "deep regret" about two incidents that took place at the school last week but weren’t reported to officials until Wednesday.
The letter outlined two separate incidents that took place between students on the campus of the school.
"According to the allegation, the first incident involved several students who undressed, at least partially, while acting disruptively in the classroom," the letter read. "The second incident concerned two students who engaged in sexually explicit behavior, also in the classroom."
KTVU confirmed with district officials Thursday that the sexually explicit behavior mentioned in the letter was oral sex between two second graders, a girl and a boy. Officials also confirmed that both incidents happened in the same classroom.
Parents with children who attend the school were understandably disturbed.
"How about second graders even knowing to do that?" asked student mother Tiffany Martinez.
"I still don't know how that could happen," said Alan Saunders, the father of a student at Markham Elementary. "They're imitating what they're seeing. They didn't learn it at school."
Flint said the incidents came to light Wednesday when students told a teacher's aide, who in turn told the principal.
"It's not unheard of for children to engage in sexually explorative behavior at an early age," said Flint. "But what's particularly concerning about this incident is it occurred in a classroom, which is supposed to be a safe haven. It is an unacceptable situation."
KTVU was kept outside of the school while investigating the reports of the incidents Thursday, but heard an announcement inside summoning second grade teachers to the office.
"It's extremely, extremely important," the voice over the school public address system said. "Please come to my office. Thank you."
District officials wouldn't say if any teachers have been suspended Thursday, but did note that “action has been taken to address those adults who were present.”
The letter that was sent home Thursday stated that "The teacher in the classroom where the acts allegedly occurred will not be reporting to the site, "ending the results of further investigation."
The letter also apologized for the incidents and stated the school would "take whatever actions are necessary to ensure that a similar act does not occur again."
Markham Elementary is located near the intersection of 73rd Avenue and Bancroft Avenue, one of the highest crime-ridden neighborhoods of Oakland.
District officials said test scores at the school have been rising the past two years and most parents KTVU spoke with Thursday said they have been pleased with the academic progress Markham has made.
Second graders who observed what happened or were involved in incidents were being offered counseling.
