Teachers who had been reassigned return to Los Angeles elementary school

The entire staff had been removed from Miramonte Elementary after 2 teachers were charged with sexual abuse

From The Los Angeles Times: Miramonte Elementary School in the Los Angeles Unified District has begun the 2012-13 year with the return of most of the teaching staff that was forced to leave the school in the wake of a sexual abuse scandal. After the January arrest of former colleague Mark Berndt for alleged lewd conduct, followed by the arrest of a second teacher for unrelated alleged lewd conduct, the entire staff had been ordered off the campus.

Now most of them are back at Miramonte.
