MCFARLAND, Calif. — According to McFarland Unified School District, a McFarland High School teacher has been placed on administrative leave following accusations that she sexually abused a student.

In a letter to the community, the superintendent S. Aaron Resendez, said the alleged incident involving Elvia Gonzalez "came to light" on Saturday, October 12 when a student showed the principal inappropriate and incriminating content on his cell phone.
