OCONTO FALLS, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — One of the teachers mentioned in a federal lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct in the Oconto Falls School District, has surrendered their teaching license with the state.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, the teacher surrendered their license on March 31.
The teacher is currently not facing any criminal charges.
Earlier this year, former students of the Oconto Falls Public School District filed a federal lawsuit against the district, alleging the district failed to act to prevent sexually predatory actions by staff members. The allegations range from locker room intrusions, inappropriate physical contact, inappropriate dress requirements, sexual assault by a fellow student and inappropriate relationships with staff members.
The complaint includes six plaintiffs with allegations against 11 staff members. Two of those have been charged: Gayle Gander and Brynn Larsen, a former substitute teacher and volleyball coach who spent two years in prison after she pleaded no contest in 2021 to sexual assault involving one of the plaintiffs.
