In December of 2023, one of the teachers, Kevin Sigaty, was suspended for making a recent graduate uncomfortable. Sigaty and the former student had been communicating through Instagram in a friendly manner. In August of 2023, Sigaty told the student that he had a graduation gift for her. Around September, the student went to the school to pick up the gift, which was two books worth 50$. This made the student uncomfortable. Later in September, Sigaty invited the student to come to his classroom in October to watch a halloween movie. This resulted in her denying and blocking Sigaty. Sigaty then made a new account to apologize. In December of 2025, Sigaty agreed to a 3 day suspension of his certificate of qualification.
