The San Ramon Valley Unified School District has agreed to a settlement for nearly $7 million in a lawsuit alleging the sexual assault of two minor students by one of its teachers, lawyers for the plaintiffs said Thursday. According to the settlement agreement, the district “expressly denies any admission of liability and wrongdoing” in the suits filed in March and February 2024 that alleged teacher Ryan Weible sexually abused two students and that the district failed to protect them. The school district has settled for $6,999,900, according to Cerri, Boskovich & Allard, the law firm that represented the plaintiffs, who are identified only as Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2. According to both Does’ claims, Weible taught at San Ramon Valley High School in Danville and directed the theater department. One girl was a senior there during the 2010-2011 school year, and Weible allegedly “used his position of trust and authority as a teacher to gain access to her and sexually assault her on school grounds in the theatre room, the ‘green room,’ his car, his apartment, and in his office, as well as on a District-sponsored trip,” according to the suit, which outlines the alleged sexual activity that included intercourse.
Jane Doe 2 alleges similar things during the same school year, which led to Weible allegedly saying “he was in love with her and wanted to marry her,” the complaint reads, and he “encouraged Jane Doe 2 not to go to college so that they could be together.” Lawyers for the Does alleged that the school district knew that Weible “engaged in highly inappropriate grooming behavior” with his female students and failed to act on that knowledge in a timely manner. The suit alleged the district ignored several red flags such as the teacher allegedly giving gifts and hugging female students, inviting female students into his office alone, giving hand massages to female students, and having girls sit in his lap.
On Thursday, SRVUSD Superintendent CJ Cammack released a statement about the settlement. “We are unable to speak to the specifics of the case, which relates to allegations dating back approximately 15 years,” wrote Cammack in an email. “However, when an adult, trusted to work with students, is accused of betraying that trust, it is deeply disturbing, and we acknowledge the devastating impact such a betrayal can have on the victims.” Cammack said that the district had followed all legally required hiring practices at the time, such as having Weible fingerprinted for a background check. However, the district has since strengthened safeguards. “We have made comprehensive improvements to our hiring and background check procedures and enhanced staff training to help ensure that abuse does not happen,” said Cammack. “SRVUSD has also reviewed and fortified the steps we take in response to student, staff, and family voices when a concern is expressed.” An attempt to reach Weible on Thursday was not successful. In 2023, the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute Weible. “After a review the referral of charges from the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office, the District Attorney’s Office did not file a complaint with the court due to insufficient evidence to prove the case in court beyond a reasonable doubt,” said District Attorney’s Office spokesperson Ted Asregadoo. Cammack, who was not superintendent at the time of the alleged abuse, said this case is not a reflection of the district. “Student safety remains our highest priority, and our thoughts remain with those impacted,” he wrote. “This case does not reflect the high quality of our SRVUSD teachers and staff. I am confident that our current staff are committed to acting responsibly and with vigilance in support of student safety.”

is this the guy?
If the school district knew this was going on – what is their excuse for inaction? Maybe those that knew should be held legally responsible in a different lawsuit.
The school district settles; the taxpayers foot the bill.
Nothing new about that, anyone screws up at the school district taxpayer dollars are the insurance fund, someone in the police or Sheriff’s Office screws up taxpayers are the Insurance Fund. The fact that some officer that’s so poorly trained can’t tell the difference between his sidearm and a taser and it cost us 10 million dollars. That doesn’t put a whole lot of faith in a lot of things to do with law enforcement, same thing with school districts, why they didn’t turn this guy over to the police department, and let charges be filed. And then deal with the civil lawsuit later. But let this guy burn at the stake first rather than walk away without having to admit any fault of any kind
These predators are experts at finding victims.
We should make people who understandably
want nothing to do with other people’s kids
the only ones we let near them.
Not sure how’d that work exactly
But I’ll get back to you.
Well I find it reprehensible, that a teacher, would engage in acts like this with his students. And it’s a grooming behavior, which I can understand that young women, might be coerced into situations like this, where I do find an issue, is nowadays if you go on to any social media platform, tick tock, Instagram. Any of the above you’ll find tens of thousands of girls on their filming what seem like innocent little video clips and Trends and whatnot to get you to go to their profile. And their profile is nothing more than an ad for pay adult services. Also known as only fans or any number of websites like that, as much as everyone wants to believe their darling daughter or loving son would never do these things. Every day tens of thousands of these accounts are set up. And not just by girls that turned 18, in some cases it’s the girl that turned 18 and their mother that turned 40 something, it’s a new monetization that women have found, that men are willing to pay like we have since the beginning of mankind. They’ve just now monetized it and commercialized it to such an extent that there are hundreds of websites that have various calculators, and FAQs to explain to women how to run these sites, how to build their fan base and how to make money now it’s one thing if you just put a few pictures up on the Internet or some videos or whatever is your kink. But that’s where it starts, now the second half of these websites that no one wants to talk about is what they call IRL or in real life. This is where your sugar daddies your predators whatnot, that want to have more of a connection with this person online, they’re offering them free vacations free trips. All kinds of whatever benefits this person has to their availability, this is now a accepted and well used system by young women and some older women, to fund their lifestyle. There is no shortage of women you can find on the internet that show off the fancy cars and houses and land they bought, using this exact business model. Now I don’t know what trauma these girls may have undergone I don’t know how much of a sleaze this teacher was, personally you can’t be bad enough to put this guy underneath the jail and make sure you put a sign around his neck that says what he did so the other prisoners can have a turn. However that being said I guarantee you that if you were to ask a lot of the seniors in high school and a lot of the freshmen in high school and they were to be truly honest and not worry about what the replications of their answer would be, they would tell you that they either have considered or are doing some form of online work like this. It’s a sad fact of 2025 but this was pushed in as a way of employment during the pandemic, and unfortunately it only growing more and more every day. Do I blame the girls for what happened to them no do I blame the teacher yes because he should know the difference between right wrong and where to keep your damn hands off. The second part that bothers me about this, is that the school district was allowed to end this with a payoff. So figure half of the money goes to the attorneys the other half goes to the two girls. Not a whole lot but it is a good jump start in life. Fact of the matter is that’s our tax dollars that we paid, to keep that school district operating and now they’re going to go to pay off for something that a teacher did. Why were no criminal charges filed against this teacher, why were the police department not putting this man in handcuffs and ruining his career. I’m sick and tired of the fact that my tax dollars become the insurance program for school district public offices police officers firefighters, anyone in the public service realm that screws up, or does something illegal. As long as their Department was willing to back them financially and pay off the other person. It doesn’t matter that it was our tax dollars that paid for it..
