Oxnard Union High School District officials said that, although the Rio Mesa teacher’s “intentions were to educate students about the harmful effects of this word, his actions were not appropriate.”

A Ventura County school district has issued an official apology after one of its teachers used a racial slur in class earlier this week, officials said.

Rio Mesa, located just north of Oxnard, “is addressing this matter and ensuring the safety and well-being of those affected by this wrong on our part,” the district wrote in a statement. “We sincerely apologize to anyone who may have been negatively impacted.” When asked about the teacher’s status or whether he will face discipline, DeLeon said, “I cannot discuss confidential personnel matters.”
