A teacher at Miami Jackson Senior High School was jailed Friday on allegations of \u201csexual activity\u201d with a minor, records show.<\/p>\n
Leroy Wright, 46, is facing charges of offenses against students by authority figures and unlawful sexual activity with a specific minor. He was also given a third charge involving obscene material and minors, according to jail records.<\/p>\n
The details behind his arrest are not yet clear as an official report has not been released.<\/p>\n
Miami-Dade County Public Schools said in a statement, \u201cThe type of behavior this individual is accused of will not be tolerated, as it runs contrary to the professional conduct we expect from all employees.\u201d<\/p>\n
Parents of Miami Jackson Senior High students received a phone message from Principal Rendina Turner on Friday about the arrest.<\/p>\n
\u201cDr. Leroy Wright, an employee of the school, was recently arrested for a crime against a minor by an authority figure,\u201d she said in the message shared with the Miami Herald.<\/p>\n
She went onto say Wright was \u201cremoved from the school site.\u201d<\/p>\n
The district confirmed to the Herald that Wright is in the process of being terminated and MDCPS \u201cwill ensure the individual is precluded from seeking future employment with the District.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt M-DCPS, the safety and well-being of all students remain our top priority,\u201d the district said.<\/p>\n
In 2002, Wright was previously sentenced to two years probation and made to pay $1,479.49 in restitution for a grand theft charge in Volusia County, court records show.<\/p>\n
As of Friday night, Wright was in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.<\/p>\n
