July 12, 2012 This pdf file contains two documents.

The first, written by Ms. Robin Oaks on November 25, 2008, is the investigator’s report concerning sexual harassment allegations against Mr. Ari Marken, teacher at Santa Monica High School. The second is a memo written on November 26, 2008 by Dr. Michael D. Matthews, assistant superintendent of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) at the time, stating that Mr. Marken violated SMMUSD policy on sexual harassment. Dr. Matthews wrote that Mr. Marken “created an intimidating, hostile or offensive educational environment.” These documents were provided to me by the SMMUSD on July 10, 2012, as the result of a request I made under the California Public Records Act on December 14, 2010. In my request, I asked for all names other than Mr. Marken’s to be redacted. However, the SMMUSD redacted only the last name of the student, a girl who at the time was thirteen years old, in the ninth grade. In the following documents, the few redactions made by the SMMUSD are black rectangles. I made additional redactions. The first name of the thirteen-year-old girl who was the victim of Mr. Marken’s sexual harassment is represented by Student . Her mother is represented by Mother and her father is represented by Father . For more information about this case, please see smmusdsafety.org. Michael Chwe
