Elk Grove Unified officials have rescinded a request for parents to return DVDs that included "inappropriate images" they say were inadvertently sent home with students at Isabelle Jackson Elementary.

Now, the district doesn't want the DVDs back.

"Just destroy them," said district spokeswoman Torrey Johnson.

A teacher apparently sent the DVD retrospective of class activity home with her 24 students on the last day of school Friday.

Although the district would not say what sort of images the DVD contained, a copy obtained by The Bee from a parent showed six seconds of sexual content.

Johnson said the teacher learned of the mistake when a parent called her over the weekend. The teacher then called all the parents of her students and asked them to destroy the DVD.

The district followed up with a letter to parents in which they initially requested that the DVDs be returned to the school.

Johnson said a district investigation of the incident will consider whether anything criminal took place, among other things.

Though children saw the video, no parents filed a complaint with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, said Sgt. Tim Curran, sheriff's spokesman.

Even if someone were to file a report, Curran said, distributing the DVD "may not be prosecutable" because law enforcement would have to establish the teacher had both intent to distribute the material and intent to arouse in order to have broken the law.

ELK GROVE, Calif. – A Northern California elementary school teacher sent her students home for the summer with a video of class memories, only the DVD included six seconds of her having sex on a couch.

Officials at the Elk Grove Unified School District asked families of the teacher's 24 students to get rid of the DVD after the unintended clip was found spliced in a scene where children were sharing stories in class.

"Just destroy them," said spokeswoman Torrey Johnson.

Johnson said the teacher, whose name isn't being released, sent the DVD home with her students from Isabelle Jackson Elementary on the last day of class Friday. She learned of the mistake after a parent called her. She then called all the parents to ask them to destroy the DVD.

The school district, located just south of Sacramento, initially sent a letter home to parents asking them to return the DVDs, but then asked parents to simply destroy them.
