A former Douglas Anderson School of the Arts student is coming forward in an investigation into a teacher who is accused of acting inappropriately.

Dean Symmonds, who graduated from D.A. in 2015, now lives in another state, and agreed to speak with Action News Jax Investigator Ben Becker by phone about Corey Thayer, the Cinematic Arts chair at the school.Action News Jax first reported that Thayer was removed from the classroom on Sept. 5 for the second time in six months because of questionable behavior.

Symmonds also alleged Thayer told him, “I love you” and “flirted” and “texted” him lyrics to love songs. Another former student claims they were inappropriately touched by Thayer, and documents show the district and school police knew about the allegations nearly a decade ago but said “no investigation was conducted by this office.”
