BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — A scathing report reveals administrators at a prep school in Palm Beach County failed to protect students from a teacher who had developed a pattern of having students over for secret sleepovers and other late-night activity.

The Palm Beach Post (http://bit.ly/2b9yKc2 ) reports administrators at St. Andrew's School in Boca Raton looked the other way last year as one teacher seemed to have inappropriate relationships with four students despite repeated warnings.

The report says that after conducting its own inadequate investigation, the school hired an outside firm to conduct an independent investigation.

The findings of the report were released to parents on Friday.

The report is critical of the all-boys school for failing to investigate evidence of misconduct by the former teacher, who has not been charged with a crime.
