A claim filed against both the school and the San Diego Unified School District alleged that art teacher Gonja Wolf prohibited the unidentified student from leaving the classroom despite her insistence that the request was urgent.
Wolf allegedly directed the girl to use a bucket located in a "small room adjacent to the class", according to a statement from principal Patricia Crowder.
The girl said she was unable to wait any longer and complied with Wolf's instructions.
Wolf has been put on administrative leave while the district conducts its investigation.
"Please know that as a district we are taking this very seriously," said Crowder.
