A teacher at Dirksen Junior High in Joliet arrested last week for predatory criminal sexual assault of a child will appear in front of a Grundy County judge March 24.
Kyle R. Camp, 36, of Minooka, was arrested at his home at 6:30 p.m. March 4 after allegations emerged that Camp had improper contact with a student. Officials at Dirksen said they became aware of the allegations at the end of the school day, and immediately removed Camp from the school.
Joliet Public Schools District 86 spokeswoman Sandy Zalewski said after Camp was removed from the school the district turned the matter over to the Joliet Police Department and the Department of Children and Family Services. District 86 placed Camp on leave and he will not be allowed on district property.
The district added that students or parents who may have information are urged to contact the Joliet Police Department directly.
Students and parents who have any other concerns should contact the principal’s office.
