SPRINGFIELD — A former teacher at a now-defunct charter school and Springfield Renaissance School is set to plead guilty in a child rape case, according to court records.
David Weremay, 45, of Florence, was arrested while he was on the payroll of the public school in February of 2023. But the allegations that led to child rape charges stemmed from allegations a student brought while he was a teacher at New Leadership School in Springfield a decade earlier.
A spokesperson for the Springfield Public Schools said Weremay was placed on leave upon his arrest.
