A 35-year-old teacher at Legacy Academy School in Valencia was arrested Wednesday for allegedly having inappropriate contact with a student.

Carl Astrera, of Panorama City, was booked at the sheriff’s Santa Clarita Valley station and held in lieu of $20,000 bail, according to the Sheriff’s Department.

Sheriff’s officials said the alleged inappropriate conduct appeared to have occurred over the past 18 months.

Since Astrera has worked at the school for a number of years, investigators said they believe there may be additional victims. Anyone with information was asked to call the sheriff’s Special Victims Bureau at (877) 710- 5273.
