Conan Bowers announced his resignation to Arroyo Grande High School staff last week. Bowers will shift to a classroom teacher position at Dorothea Lange Elementary In Nipomo. The Lucia Mar Unified School District says Bowers is making the move in order to re-energize himself and spend more time with family.
Recently though, Bowers was named in a lawsuit over an underage sex case at Arroyo Grande High School. Earlier this year, a former Arroyo Grande culinary arts teacher was convicted of having sexual intercourse with an underage student. The victim was 16 years old when the sexual acts occurred.
In January, the victim’s family filed suit, alleging Stumph had a relationship with another underage student prior to the one for which she was charged. Administrators ignored complaints about Stumph’s initial relationship with a student, according to the suit.
The Lucia Mar school board is expected to announce Bowers’ replacement at a meeting Tuesday night.
