LYNWOOD — By a 5-0 vote early Wednesday morning, the Lynwood school board placed Firebaugh High School Principal Jonas Silverio on administrative leave effective immediately, amid a pending investigation by the Sheriff’s Department’s Special Victims Bureau.

The board’s vote came about 12:15 a.m. after a closed session that lasted nearly three hours.

Because of the ongoing investigation, the Sheriff’s Department told school district officials not to disclose information to the public, because they could be cited with obstructing an investigation.

Lt. Michael Rosson of the Century Sheriff’s Station last week confirmed that an investigation was was under way regarding a school district administrator. “I can’t disclose the name of the person but there is an ongoing investigation regarding a principal in the school district,” he said.

Calls to Silverio at Firebaugh High School prior to the vote were not returned.

It was discovered that Silverio had been out on sick leave several times within the last month. An office assistant at the school site told The Wave this week that she didn’t know when he would be back, and that it had been a while since he had reported to school. “We’ve been told that he’s been sick,” the assistant said.

One source, who asked to remain anonymous, said Silverio had already submitted his resignation, effective June 30, but no one was able to confirm that information.

Superintendent Dhyan Lal would not confirm that Silverio had resigned.

“The only thing I know is that Mr. Silverio is very, very sick,” Lal said in an interview on May 7. “He has lost 20 pounds. … He is ill, Jonas can’t lose 20 pounds.”

Lal added that parents of Firebaugh students also are concerned about the principal.

“They know the amount of hours he was putting in,” he said. “One time that happened to me too, years ago.”

But Lal said during the May 7 interview that Silverio was not officially out on sick leave.

“He hasn’t officially filed for sick leave, but the doctor has been taking him off work for a couple of days here and a couple of days there,” the superintendent said. “But yesterday, I was told that he can’t return to work. … That he may not be back for a while.”

It was learned on Wednesday morning that Silverio has filed for sick leave.

Between late Thursday and late Monday, no new information ensued from calls to school board members or to the district’s legal counsel overseeing the matter.

In a second interview Wednesday, Lt. Rosson said he had not been told that the school district had put anybody on leave. He again said he could not comment on an open investigation.

“It wouldn’t be fair to the person because the case is still open,” he said. “You wouldn’t want to disparage anybody needlessly, so until all the facts come in, we don’t have any comment at this time.”

Martina Rodriguez, a former school board member who was denied a chance to speak to the school board Tuesday night in closed session, was shocked to hear the news about Silverio. She said she and a few other parents wanted to speak to the school board in closed session to ask why another teacher in the district who had been arrested in the last month was not placed on administrative leave, reprimanded or disciplined, but rather transferred to work in the district office.

School board President Jose Solache, citing his need to meet with counsel before all five members of the board could meet with Rodriguez in closed session to discuss a personnel matter, gave Rodriguez the option of meeting with two members of the board and the superintendent — to not violate any Brown Act laws — or state her case publicly in under three minutes before the board went into closed session.

Board member Rachel Chavez, however, disagreed with Solache saying that board members in the past have met with members of the community in closed session, and didn’t see why now it was a problem.

While it seemed Chavez was backed by three of her colleagues, upon being called to closed session, Rodriguez was met by only two board members and the superintendent. Rodriguez told the two that she wanted to speak to all five members, not two, and thus rescinded her request to speak with them.

“[I think] they thought I was going to talk to them about the Firebaugh principal,” Rodriguez said stunned. “I mean, many of us in the community have heard the rumors and allegations about the issue, but we figured if some of that were true, then the district surely would be handling it. We didn’t know it would ever get this far.”

It is not certain why or how the matter came to a head on Tuesday night, but it is certain that it was placed on the agenda for the meeting under closed session items.

Lal was asked during the May 7 interview if Silverio had resigned. “Not yet,” he said. All of the rumors and allegations out there, he said, “could easily be said about you and me. … When he resigns, it will go to the board.”

Silverio has been one of the top principals in the school district. He is credited with leading Firebaugh High School’s International Baccalaureate program and helping to form an active Parent Booster Club that was recently honored by Rep. Linda Sánchez, D-Cerritos. But despite the school’s many accolades, and its award-winning architecture, its principal has been at the forefront of controversy on many different levels in the past, including allegedly hand-picking students for test score purposes, not disciplining students who allegedly got drunk on a field trip to Sacramento and for allegedly asking students to work late hours on campus.

Upon being informed officially this week that there was an ongoing investigation into allegations against Silverio, the board members agreed that putting the principal on administrative leave was the best course of action.

“No comment,” were the two words for the morning after the 5-0 vote. Board members said they could not comment on the matter.

School board Vice President Alfonso Morales said May 7 that he had no knowledge of an ongoing investigation, or Silverio’s alleged resignation.

“Obviously this would be a very sensitive issue you’re talking about,” Morales said. “And not only is it that, but it would be a personnel issue. If anybody were to speak on such a matter outside of the appropriate setting, they would be exposing themselves to liability for talking about a personnel issue. … I will tell you right now, that if there was a personnel issue, such as this, I am confident that the school district will take the necessary steps to investigate and protect the children of the district. … Allegations like this, are very detrimental for everybody involved,” he said. “Enough, that there are no winners in this type of situation.”

Morales on Wednesday, said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t comment on the matter.”

A call to Solache on Wednesday was not returned by press time.

An official statement was released on Wednesday afternoon, approved by the board members and by the district’s legal counsel.

It stated: “The board of education, after a 5-0 vote, has placed Jonas Silverio, principal of Firebaugh High School on administrative leave, effective immediately. The board of education on a 5-0 vote, has elected Dr. Cheri Tuinstra as the acting principal at Firebaugh High School.”

In similar instances, including one that occurred here about seven years ago, individuals being placed on administrative leave usually have to abide by several restrictions, including being prohibited from returning to their campuses and from contacting any students. It is not certain if Silverio’s administrative leave includes such restrictions.

A call into the detective handling the case also was not returned by press time.

Late Wednesday, it was learned that many parents and students from Firebaugh High School stopped at the School District's headquarters to show their support for Silverio and to question why he was placed on administrative leave.

It is ridiculous what he has allegedly been doing for years. I heard rumor it was allegedly, 3 volleyball girls who we're pregnant & the female assistant coach.who allegedly got an abortion when she found out about the girls. all this is rumor,allegations and speculation.until anything is proven from the old booking sheet that is going around or currently, not one of us knows the truth.

To the girl that got knocked up when she was 15, is not Silverio's it it? and no wonder u got knocked up early and honey, we have a law that states that if an adult has sex with a minor (under 18) is considered rape. Yes the girl might knew, but it is still rape. Now in ur case, u were also a victim cause u were 15 and therefore, underage.

Silverio hand picked students for firebaugh and they will never get a really college degree, it a special education school, Silverio picked dummies he could molest, I would be ashamed to tell anyone I when there, after know what Silverio did. Student from there will never succeed in college or a UC why? cuz they made bad choices. They should change the make of that school or make it into a continuation school, even Vista High School is better than that place.

sexual intercourse between an adult(18 ) and a child (17-) is illegal. AND morally incorrect. So the blame cannot be completely thrown at him. Besides, let's not forget that for quite a while FHS was an epitome of the LUSD, and he was put upon a pedestal. That was for a reason, so don't try turning your backs on him now, hypocrites.

The only reason these investigations started in the first place and "smeared" the already bad-enough reputation of LUSD is because the allegations were made by students and employees of the LUSD. So big whoop dee doo! Great job LUSD. Now, if it's true that he is guilty or not, we don't know. Decades of age difference does not mean that the young ladies who decided to sleep around with this man had impaired common sense.

Once upon a time there was this city called Lynwood. This city was a role model for other school districts and kids excelled in academics all due to the hardwork school administrators and the superintendent(s) put forth each day. The administrators cared about the success of the community they worked for and were humbled by the respect their community showed them. All students thrived, never had to take remedial classes, or had to go to special schools to be promoted to the next grade. The End!

Stop trying to make this into a LHS vs. MAFHS war. FHS has gotten more support from the district opposed to LHS, that should be established here. However, we shouldn't deviate from the fact that Silverio did something he shouldn't have, and the District covered it up. As well as the fact that the District has been involved in some very corrupt things, as well as playing a pivotal role in our budget deficit.

I bet you can't even wipe your own asses!

This is what happens when you think outside of the box and you believe in the impossible. You get slammed from all sides. This the reason that you have so many incompetent teachers, administrators and high level administrators at the District running top departments that have run the district down to the dumps.SOS needs to spend their time with the district level departments and people that are incompetent. As for Silverio, if guilty, he too will be held accountable for his actions.

It is extremely painful to see the ongoing accusations of a man that could very well be found not guilty. what I find most disturbing is the hate of a man that perhaps turned LUSD upside down with even the thought that these students could aspire to reach such academic levels as IB. Unfortunately, you have people like SOS and other political savvy people that try to keep the students down and out in Lynwood. Mr. Silverio is a crazy maniac to believe and pursue a such a dream.

Student and staff will have their opinions about him, and some will say there is the man that rapped that girl and got away with it. He cannot work or govern a school under these conditions. That’s why he is going to resign in June. He will never return, and if he applies to other district, I will email this article to the distrist

LHS should NOT be turned into an IB School. That was a horrible suggestion. We have a variety of different programs and IB would just distort the constant rhythm of the school. Also, it's not a principal that makes a school but the students, so Silverio didn't create anything but controversy.

I think it would be great to turn LHS IB as well. It would mean that you would have to give up the AP program, though. IB is very different. I'm a product of the AP one day, one test program. IB is about the day to day work. Every student takes IB classes. Only students with a 3.0 GPA take the tests. Each subject has multiple assessments so they are very time consuming. The Full Diploma candidates are also writing for a 4,000 word research paper. IB is not better than AP, it's apples to oranges.

Mr. Silverio has coordinated a successful learning environment for students and new teachers – as I can attest. He has “raised the bar” in Lynwood. His focus, from my close observation, has always been on student achievement. Accusations are fun and easy… but let’s allow those who must to do their jobs. And can the rest of us continue to push Lynwood kids into college and/or responsible positions in life.

The IB program has divided the community but to be fair it was offered to some of the LHS students. If you recall Firebaugh for a short period was the only school to offer 9th grade. At the end of 9th grade the school offered people to stay at FHS. Some stayed, others decided to go to LHS. LHS does have something we don't and that the AP. Just like AP, at FHS in order to be eligble to take the Diploma test or the Certificates you must have a GPA of 3.0 .Only those students will take the test.

Only 5,004 IB diplomas were awarded in North America last year. Do FHS really think they can be at least one of the 5004. I think not, Silverio divided the community (look at what’s going in on this message board). Both sides are mad, because FHS students think they are better and LHS studnets. LHS got shortchanged because all of the resources when to that pedophile principal. The IB program should be broken up or it should be offer at LHS also. Just to be fair.

Firebaugh might be an accredited IB School, but there has never been a student from that school who as earned an IB diploma.

Once someone at the school does, then you can call yourself a real IB school. Show me that FHS is producing results, and I’ll eat my word. But for now FHS is still worthless.

This is a time when students and staff from LHS and FHS will hopefully begin to see more of the things we have in common and less of what has separated us. FHS is NOT better than any other school in the district, and district leaders were wrong to cultivate a feeling of difference and distance between us. Furthermore, there are many people on this blog and at school sites who are telling people to shut up and to be ashamed of speaking out. Talking about the problems are not the problem.

To denise navarro's comment. how is firebaugh a great school when the state scores are much lower than LHS'? Personally, it's about time that someone already reported him. I cannot stand his arrogance and his brainwashing.I knew one of the girls who was a victim of silverio. I wonder what will Dr.Lal do, now that his puppet is on administrative leave. Silverio is a manipulative man and I believe that he deserves what he will get.

this scandal is certainly sad, but i am glad to see that people are becoming aware of the rampant abuse of power in this district. favoritism, personal vendettas, racial discrimination, and sexual misconduct are not rare. i also challenge the fhs teacher who disagrees with the number of teachers whom silverio has gotten rid of over the last 4 years. check with the union. he has used his principalship to routinely dismiss very good teachers who have the nerve to think for themselves.

This is for Student denise navarro who thinks Silverio is inicent. He did not put Firebaugh on the Map, all he has done is tarnish the Good name of the late Marco Antonio Firebaugh brought shame to the District and the community. And another thing Mr. Silvrio is a Racist he never cared to much for African Americans and some Hispanics. If you combed your Hair to the side he would talk to you, if you combed your hair back and had a little slang in your talk he would not give you the time of day.

This man is a jerk. An an unfair principal. He preferenced many other students aside from some. It was never about them all, just some. That girl was taking to much already she had to give up.

this is truly a sad state of affairs. this scandal is the jewel in the crown of abuse of power that is so rampant in the district--croneyism, personal vendettas, racial discrimination, and the persecution of free-thinking individuals. it is high time the many abuses perpetrated here come to light. lal, along with silverio and the rest of his pets, have caused enough damage in lynwood. it's time to clean house. i, for one, am happy to see the wool snatched off people's eyes.

I did not agree with alot of things while working under Mr. Silverio, however the Man is allowed due process according to the Law. Is he Guilty I beleive so. He just got caught when a student finally came forward and said " NO MORE ". He still has to answer to a higher athority come judgement day when he stands before the the Lord. But please everyone lets not forget the victims here. Yes Victims. Mrs. Silverio and the children, Pray for them. Mr. Silverio may God have Mercy on your soul.

Silverio is Guilty. He has been out on sick leave several times and lost 20 pounds. An innocent man would fight tooth and nail to clear his name, but this guilty coward uses his sick leave time to hide his shame. I feel sorry for his wife and children. Here is a man who had everything and chose to throw it all away for a moment of lust. He was never qualified to be a principal. Under Dr. Harold Cebrun, he was transferred to various school sites because of his inability to work with others. He f

I think that it is the saddest thing ever that after all that we know, all that has happened, teachers and students still have the audacity to defend Silverio. This just shows how well he and Lal have manipulated and brainwashed them, that after all of the evidence, people still choose to be ignorant and want their hardest to believe otherwise. Is that what your education has taught you? To be ignorant and refuse to believe what's exposed and literally in your face. Silverio's a waste of a life

The IB program is a house of card build on sand. It was design to make Silverio look good, He never CARED about the children. He gave them false hopes. I can guarantee that the reality is that NO STUDENTS FROM THAT DISTRICT WILL EVER PASS A REAL IB program, and that the true.

It's time for the blindfold to come FHS parents/students. If Mr. Silverio has not done anything wrong, then why doesn't he defend himself! Why is there an investigation? Ask yourself these questions and you will come up with the same conclusion as many of us have. NO ONE is against the IB program. All we ask for is EQUALITY among all schools. The focus should be on ALL students that are not doing well Academically and the ones that will not be able to take IB classes. Get your story straight!

Perhaps if the LUSD were more fair in the kinds of individuals they promote and encourage diversity, then maybe you would not be in this mess. As Malcolm X sayed, "the chickens have come home to roost". Now you see the result of your selected forced mass exodus of certain kind of folk. We never had this kind of thing on our watch!

Silverio is being falsely accused. All he has done is put Firebaugh High on the map. This school is not like any other. Its a home for many students. Its a haven compared to other high schools. Sivlerio is a great principal and did all he could for this school. He never harmed anyone or handpicked test scores. Students at this school are simply receiving a quality education and parents around the community are against that. Many parents whose kids dont attend FHS cant face that its a good school

Who care about the harassment of a disabled teacher or the phony administrative support at Firebaugh where Silverio hand-picking students for test score purposes. Firebaugh was a district experiment gone arye, where Dr. Lal let Silverio and the staff runs amuck. The staff and administration over there are all court-mandated reports and I hope everyone is held accountable who participated in the cover up covering over there with this sick and twisted man who allegedly sexually abused a young girl

Silverio is being investigated by the Sheriff’s Special Victims Bureau and they investigation the sexual and physical abuse of child. This has nothing to do with the state takeover, or whether Silverio deserve it or not. Obviously there was a parent or child who made a complaint and the Sheriff’s are required to investigate this allegation.

50 teachers have not left in 4 years. We have great admin support at our school. This is one of the only schools in the district actually achieving real change. I hope it's not true, but even if it is it doesn't take away from the accomplishments of the staff, kids and teachers. Working at this school is a beach compared to the crazy, unorganized situation at a lot of other schools.

It's about time!! This guy had the girls' volleyball team over at his house for pool parties, amongst many other creepy, perverted things. He has scarred himself, but most importantly, students!! I just wish the district had acted instead of supporting this kind of behavior for the sake of building an IB School. It's so numbing because this is justice, but violating, manipulating, and taking advantage of teenage students is just plain sad!! I heard 50 teachers have left this school in 4 yrs.

This is the beginning of the state takeover! In this district administrators are constantly violating teachers rights. Some samples of this subhuman garbage are T. freih, butler, skornia, and many more. All these actions were applauded by the infamous Lal and the board members. Kids can't wait (to be sued and taken over by the state)
