Brooklyn elite school investigates after student’s arrest for soliciting lewd photos.
Saint Ann’s School in Brooklyn has come under fire for hiring a teacher with a criminal background, Winston Nguyen, who is now facing serious felony charges. The school’s administrators allegedly dismissed concerns about Nguyen’s behavior and prioritized his employment over the safety and well-being of students and their families. Despite the scandal, Saint Ann’s School remains a prestigious institution known for its unique culture, high-profile parents and alumni, and Ivy League matriculation rate.
The report on the school’s handling of the situation has raised questions about its reputation and future fundraising efforts. While three administrators implicated in the report are no longer with the school, current leaders have not commented publicly on the matter. The board of trustees has stated their commitment to governance and accountability in response to the allegations.
The hiring of a teacher with a criminal history has brought negative attention to Saint Ann’s School, and how the institution addresses this issue will likely impact its standing among prospective parents and donors. The school’s response to the report will be closely watched as it navigates the fallout from this troubling incident.
