According to the PCSD, the allegations concerned molestation or groping of young students at the school and during school hours. Sgt. Darren Moss said one of the students reported the assaults to her parents in February. “As the Superintendent of the Peninsula School District, I take the safety and well-being of our students very seriously and want to assure our community that these allegations are in stark opposition to everything we stand for," Superintendent Krestin Bahr said in a statement sent to staff and families.
The attorney representing one of the victims said the student alleges she was sexually abused during the 2022-2023 fourth grade and 2023-2024 fifth grade school years.
