Three former students of Castilleja School have filed a lawsuit against the institution, alleging negligence in protecting them from a math tutor, Mark Allan Hodes, accused of sexually abusing multiple students. The lawsuit emphasizes that the school was previously aware of Hodes' suspicious behavior but failed to act, compromising the safety of the students. The case raises important discussions regarding schools' responsibilities in monitoring non-employee access to students and highlights the long-term ramifications of ignoring warning signs of predatory behavior. Castilleja School expressed deep concern yet maintains their commitment to student safety.
The abuse of these students was entirely preventable had the school placed the safety of its students above (its) reputation, attorneys said in a statement.
Castilleja School stated that providing a safe and nurturing learning environment for our students is Castilleja's top priority, expressing being stunned and heartbroken by Hodes' arrest.
