Citing unprofessional and immoral conduct, the Sandridge Elementary District 172 School Board on Friday passed a pair of resolutions recommending the state board of education suspend or revoke the education credentials of two now-former employees.

With a room full of parents at the first public meeting since the district sex scandal broke and three incumbents were ousted in Tuesday's election, the board, by a 6-0 vote, approved the resolutions after a closed session.

The School Board also took other steps toward moving on from the scandal that has dominated the school of more than 400 students.

The board hired a former Chicago educator to act as interim principal for the remainder of the school year and passed a resolution condemning whomever is responsible for placing a camera in the office of former Sandridge Elementary District 172 Principal Leroy Coleman.

The board's action comes just eight days after a DVD recording was circulated showing Coleman having sex with teacher Janet Lofton in his office.

Coleman, a 56-year-old Flossmoor resident, and science teacher Janet Lofton, a 41-year-old resident of Lynwood, both resigned April 12, the same day the recording began to circulate.

Another woman, identified as teacher's aide and substitute teacher Anjayla Reed, who also has since resigned, appears in the recordings on a separate occasion being hugged and touched by Coleman.

The board stated there was insufficient evidence to proceed with a resolution asking for Reed's credentials to be suspended or revoked.

"We will support whatever the regional superintendent suggests," District 172 School Board President Cheryl Ward said before the meeting.

Before the board went behind closed doors, several members of the audience spoke.

Robert Churchill told the board that as a former supporter of Coleman he found the former principal's actions "reprehensible" but was against having Coleman's credentials suspended or revoked.

Churchill also took exception to the content of Coleman's apology, which was issued Monday, the first day that students and staff returned to Sandridge Elementary.

"He apologized to his wife," he said. "He did not apologize to parents, staff, students or the school."

Gloria J. Archbold, a former principal at Chicago's DuSable High School, will serve as principal at Sandridge at a salary of $500 per day. Archbold is a retired principal who will handle the day-to-day duties of principal, District 172 Superintendent Diane Dyer-Dawson said.

Investigators are still trying to determine who might have placed a camera in Coleman's office and who else might have had knowledge.

If a school employee is responsible for placing the camera, investigators could only file a charge if the person illegally entered the school office, Cook County Sheriff's Police Department Deputy Chief John Palcu said. Investigators found no signs of a break-in or forced entry.

Two school employees asked for interviews have declined to talk with investigators. Former School Board member Steve Brewster, whom Cook County sheriff's police were to interview Monday as part of the ongoing investigation, didn't show up, Palcu said.

Multiple attempts this week by The Times to reach Brewster have failed. However, a week ago he said he only became aware of the situation when it aired on television.
