Three former Scottsdale Unified School District employees are without their jobs after concerns about their behavior related to children have come up since October.
Two of them - former Cocopah sixth grade English language arts teacher Michael Gill and Hohokam Elementary School crossing guard Thomas Giorlando - were fired and charged by police for allegedly possessing child pornography.
The third - Saguaro High School athletic director Lucas Ackerson - was allowed to resign from the district amid allegations he was inappropriately messaging a female student on social media. Police looked into his situation and decided there was not enough evidence to launch an official investigation.
