Bensenville village president calls for a resignation over teacher sex scandal
BENSENVILLE, Ill. -- The Bensenville village president is calling for the resignation of the Fenton Community High School District 100, amid a scandal involving sexual abuse allegations against a staff member. Village President Frank DeSimone wrote that school district Supt. James Ongtenco must resign to help the community heal. On Monday, the board fired a staff member at Fenton High School who had been accused of having sexual relationships with students dating back years.
Simone's full letter to district board of education members is below: Board of Education Members, I write this letter not only as the Village President of Bensenville, but as the parent of a daughter at Fenton High School. What I have witnessed at Fenton these past few weeks is nothing short of horrific, and like so many in our community, I'm outraged at the allegations against a former teacher. And while his dismissal is a small step forward, it is not enough.
