A suburban middle school teacher who also coaches high school girls junior varsity volleyball is facing a felony charge after officials said he secretly recorded a student.
Dagoberto Diaz, a teacher at Carl Sandburg Middle School and girls JV volleyball coach at Mundelein High School, was arrested by Mundelein police and charged with one felony count of unauthorized video recording of a juvenile, Mundelein D75 and D120 Supt. Dr. Corey Tafoya said in a letter to families Tuesday.
The charge, Tafoya said, came after students made a report to school officials. Administrators then alerted law enforcement and the Department of Children and Family Services.
“While we are deeply troubled by this situation, we are also incredibly proud of the students who demonstrated the courage to speak up when something did not feel right,” Tafoya wrote.
The school placed Diaz on administrative leave the same day the alleged behavior was reported, Tafoya said. Since then, Diaz has not been permitted to interact with students or set foot on school property.
The district is now pursuing Diaz’s termination.
“While our reporting processes worked as designed, this painful event reinforces our commitment to continually train our coaches and staff and seek every possible way to keep our students safe,” Tafoya wrote. “Schools should be a safe place for students to learn and grow, and we will continue to make decisions and design measures to protect our students and ensure that remains true.”
