Hinsdale Central Teacher Paid For Damage

HINSDALE, IL – The Hinsdale Central High School teacher who purposely damaged signs in the parking lot last fall reimbursed the school, records show.

Last November, science teacher Eric Jensen paid Hinsdale High School District 86 $531 under an item listed as "Jensen Sign Damage," according to public documents. That was what the district paid its vendor.

When his superiors reprimanded him last year, he promised to reimburse for the damage, according to a memo.

Last month, the school board gave Jensen a "notice of remedial warning" for what the district considered his latest offense.

Earlier this week, Patch published a story based on public records about the sign damage. The records state Jensen's reason for intentionally damaging the signs.

Police were not involved in the situation.
