EL MONTE (CNS) – Students who allege they were sexually abused at Rosemead High School will call on the El Monte Union High School District Board to fire Superintendent Edward Zuniga.
The “survivors” will also call for “further structural changes … after the California Department of Justice found widespread failures to report child sexual abuse,” according to the Carrillo law firm, which represents the group.
“This investigation, which concluded with an announcement by Attorney General Rob Bonta on Friday, March 20, 2026, followed a 2023 article titled `Predator’s Playground’ by Matt Drange, which uncovered years of rampant sexual abuse of minor students at Rosemead High School by staff members,” the attorneys stated.
The former students were to hold a news conference Monday morning to discuss the case.
The news conference comes after California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on Friday a stipulated judgment with the El Monte Union High School District “after the DOJ investigation revealed a widespread pattern of refusing to follow the law and reporting child sexual abuse committed by staff on students,” according to a Carillo Law Group statement.
