Ontario high school teacher Ryan Imgrund 'breached the standards of care, respect and trust' in inappropriate interactions with five students between 2017 and 2021
Former Newmarket high school teacher Ryan Imgrund has been found guilty of misconduct for sending inappropriate photos and having improper relationships with students.
College of teachers lawyer Danielle Miller said Imgrund breached professional standards in sexually abusing a student and otherwise exhibited misconduct in his interactions with students. The inappropriate conduct with five of his students dates between 2017 and 2021. Imgrund departed the teachers college June 8, 2022, after leaving York Catholic District School Board in June 2021 to pursue his work as a self-titled biostatistician.
But that behaviour did not stop here, Miller said, with Imgrund continuing to message inappropriately to students. With one particular student, Miller said there was longstanding personal communication over text, including exchanging personal photographs. In one instance, quoting from text conversations, Miller said Imgrund asked the student to open up more over text and to never have any regrets about anything she says to him.
Imgrund took part in other unprofessional behaviour, Miller said. She described other incidents such as asking another student about the relationship with her boyfriend, blaring explicit rap music while driving a student to basketball games, and telling students it was OK to swear in his class as a “cool zone.” He also dressed in a student’s identifiable basketball jersey for Halloween.
