The rectorate of the Dijon academy announced the suspension of a teacher from the Stephen Liégeard high school in Brochon. This decision was taken by the rector on Friday November 29, following the arrest of the teacher by the authorities for facts related to the consultation of child pornography images. The Dijon public prosecutor transmitted this information to the rectorate, leading to an immediate reaction from the academic authorities.
Although the teacher is presumed innocent until proven guilty, he will have to answer to these accusations in court on January 20, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. While awaiting the judgment, the Dijon academy has taken measures to guarantee the safety and well-being of the establishment's students and staff.
As of Monday morning, a monitoring and support unit was set up to support the head of the establishment and the teaching teams. The objective of this unit is to answer students' questions and reassure them in the face of this worrying situation. At the same time, mobile security teams were deployed around the high school to reinforce security, with the support of the gendarmerie.
David Muller, academy inspector and director of national education services for Côte-d'Or, went there to support the head of the establishment, the teachers and the students, visibly marked by this affair. This institutional support aims to ensure educational continuity in as calm a climate as possible, despite events.
The legal procedure is continuing, under the direction of the Dijon public prosecutor. At the same time, the educational community works to support students and maintain a framework conducive to everyone's education and well-being, despite this disturbing situation.
This event arouses considerable emotion within the school community. The academic authorities reiterate their commitment to supporting the victims and to acting decisively to guarantee the safety and serenity of students and teachers throughout the academy.
