“We take this matter very seriously and are fully cooperating with law enforcement. The safety and integrity of our school community are of the utmost importance,”

the district said.

Law enforcement officials have not released specific details regarding the types of scams perpetrated. However, they have urged anyone with relevant information to contact the Stratford Police Department.

Community Reaction

The incident has left parents and community members shocked and concerned. Some are calling for increased oversight of school technology and more stringent policies to prevent future misuse.

“It’s unnerving to think that this could happen in a place where students are supposed to be learning and growing,”

said local parent Maria Lopez.

Experts in educational technology suggest that regular audits and enhanced monitoring of school equipment can help deter similar incidents. The district has indicated that it will review its current policies to strengthen safeguards.

What’s Next?

The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the full extent of the teacher’s actions. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

For now, Stratford High School staff and students are left grappling with the implications of this breach of trust, underscoring the need for vigilance and accountability in educational environments.
