L.A. Unified could pay more to alleged Miramonte victims

The Los Angeles school board on Tuesday is scheduled to discuss in private a possible additional payment to alleged victims of two former teachers at Miramonte Elementary School.

Settlements already total $169 million, the largest the district has ever paid related to sexual misconduct. Former teacher Mark Berndt, who was arrested in 2012, is serving a 25-year sentence for lewd actions with children.

The matter under review Tuesday arises out of the first wave of settlements, which totaled $30 million and provided $470,000 to each alleged victim.

That agreement, dated Feb. 22, 2013, stated that the settlement figure was a “premium” amount because these were the first to resolve their cases.
