A former Arvin teacher accused of engaging in sex acts with an underage student will stand trial on seven felony counts. A judge last week found there was sufficient evidence for the case against Michael Parra, 44, to go to trial. Court documents indicate Parra’s wife contacted authorities in November 2023 after finding sexually graphic messages on his cellphone between Parra and a student at Arvin High School where Parra taught. The girl, 17, reportedly admitted to being romantically involved with Parra.
