The documents show Flores had no prior disciplinary action on her personnel file.
It did site a 2012 evaluation labeling the teacher as "developing/needs improvement" in the area of "Creating an Environment of Respect and Rapport."
In the investigation documents, Flores said teachers like her receive no direction from the school district on what to use to teach students about Black History Month and teachers have to find their own materials for those lessons.
At the next School Board meeting April 2, Superintendent Nikolai Vitti will recommend suspending Flores without pay for five days.
