VALLEY CENTER
A Valley Center Elementary School teacher was arrested Thursday, accused of engaging in graphic and inappropriate conversations via chat and video messaging platforms with former students in Bakersfield, authorities said.
Kyle Puette, a 37-year-old third and fifth grade teacher, was arrested on suspicion of sending harmful material to seduce minors and communicating with minors to commit a sexual offense.
The alleged sex crimes happened in Bakersfield, where Puette worked as a fifth-grade teacher at Louise Sandrini Elementary School between 2013 and 2017. Authorities said they identified two teenage victims, former students who Puette allegedly contacted through social media.
Authorities did not give a timeline of the alleged crimes or the investigation that led to Puette’s arrest.

It happened again. Granted, this example has a dash more of woke salt in it, but it’s still another school board that’s about to deal with a mic fiasco. It’s also a boomer moment as these clowns didn’t know that their video call was being broadcast publicly. Chardá Bell-Fontenot, the vice president of the La Mesa-Spring Valley School Board outside of San Diego, said that reopening schools was akin to slavery and an exercise in white supremacy. The Daily Caller’s Jorge Ventura has the clips and notes that Ms. Bell-Fontenot seems unaware that everything she is saying could be viewed by the general public.
