The annual report from the Office of the Inspector General for the Chicago Board of Education revealed that sexual allegations were the largest area of complaints at 21.49%.
There has been a shift in the terminology used, with 'adult-on-student' replacing 'educator sexual misconduct'. This shift is to draw attention to third-party, nonemployee adults.
The data in the report is unclear on how many allegations were against teachers and staff members, and the numbers shown are often aggregated as a five-year summary instead of for the fiscal year.
