A London high school teacher and longtime executive with a local girls hockey association is facing professional misconduct allegations involving six students stretching back more than a decade.

Spiro Grima, a music teacher at Laurier secondary school, is accused of professional misconduct for alleged incidents involving four female and two male students between 1999 and 2015, according to the public hearing notice posted by the Ontario College of Teachers, the profession’s provincial oversight and licensing body.

Grima is accused of inappropriate behaviours ranging from driving a student home and sending them text messages, to kissing and hugging students.

He engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a female student by signing her out of class, driving her home, going out for coffee and exchanging text messages with the girl during the 2014-2015 school year, the six-page notice alleges.

Grima is also accused of engaging in inappropriate physical contact for kissing her on the cheek.

The veteran teacher kissed and hugged a different female student and a male student during the same school year, the document alleges.

In other incidents alleged to have happened between 1999 and 2014, Grima hugged a female student and kissed her on the cheek, kissed a male student on the forehead and shared a blanket with a female student during a bus trip.

None of the allegations against Grima has been proven in the Ontario College of Teachers’ disciplinary process, and it’s not known if he is admitting or disputing the allegations.

A discipline committee is holding a two-day hearing for Grima beginning April 23 at the college’s Toronto headquarters.

Teachers found guilty of professional misconduct under the College of Teachers Act face penalties ranging from having their teaching licence revoked or suspension for up to 24 months, to receiving a written or verbal reprimand or having conditions places on their teaching licence.

Grima is listed in good standing with the Ontario College of Teachers. He received his teaching licence in 1995 after graduating with bachelor of music and bachelor of education degrees from Western University.

A Thames Valley District school board spokesperson confirmed Grima is still a teacher with the board but declined to comment further.

Before teaching at Laurier, Grima taught at Medway, Clarke Road and West Elgin secondary schools.

Grima, who didn’t respond to a request for comment, is listed online as an executive and past president of the London Devilettes Girls Hockey Association.

A Devilettes official says Grima is no longer involved with the organization, though no timeline was offered.
