Overview
- The DGE’s legal office determined administrative responsibility for touching a sixth-grade student at La Paz’s Escuela Juana de Jesús Aguirre de Quiroga on April 26, 2019.
- The Gender Area classified the conduct as compatible with gender-based violence under provincial law, and officials said the accused offered only a generic denial without counterevidence.
- The teacher retired in 2023, yet the DGE continued the disciplinary process and issued cesantía with a three-year inhabilitation that blocks him from taking hours in the system.
- Education official Daniela García reported 38 teacher dismissals in 2025, including two exonerations for grave sexual abuse and five cesantías for simple sexual abuse, with only two of those seven cases carrying judicial convictions.
- Under the province’s Ficha Limpia rule, any confirmed judicial conviction for sexual crimes will trigger exoneration and permanent exclusion, while a separate San Rafael case involving two adolescent complainants remains under active investigation by fiscal Paula Arana.
