Please click if you would like to sign this letter.
We have learned that on December 4, 2008, the SMMUSD found that Mr. Ari Marken, math teacher at Santa Monica High School, sexually harassed a thirteen-year-old student in one of his classes, in violation of SMMUSD policy 5145.7. He was placed on leave for five weeks while the investigation took place. We are also aware that Mr. Marken was placed on leave again in December 2009 while the SMMUSD investigated him for improper electronic communications with present and former students. We are aware that Mr. Marken did not return for the entire 2009-2010 school year, and resumed teaching at Santa Monica High School in September 2010.

This case against Ari Marken is complete BS. The complaining girl was failing his class and made up this story.
ReplyDeleteBoth the girl and her mother know Ari is innocent. Stop with this nonsense and find out the truth.
