Summary for February 13, 2007
Lawsuit
A Florida coach was sentenced to six months in jail and three years probation for his sexual involvement with a student. Now she's suing the school district for having hired him.
Arrested
Two school volunteers - a 67-year-old man in Georgia and a 52-year-old Maryland grandfather were arrested. The first was charged with molestation of students, the second of his granddaughter.
TT- School volunteers and teaching assistants aren't always fingerprinted or have background checks run. We don't know about these two cases.
Just Wondering
It's been a year since a Texas P.E. teacher was suspended - with pay - for injuring a child. The local paper is wondering why nothing has been done. It's probably the cocaine arrest. Or the board has been busy -- six other employees of the school district are on suspension with pay.
Thinking about Suspension
Four months after a Texas teacher was arrested for touching a 11-year-old boy, and one month after his indictment, the school board is considering suspending the teacher until his contract ends in May. Maybe.
Porn Star Teacher
A Kentucky teacher sued to get her job back when it became known that she had starred in several porn movies. (A reader informs us that she actually shot footage for one movie, but the movie company had enough footage for 11 movies and we take his word for it.) However, on Friday the Kentucky Court of Appeals dismissed her case. Not to worry. Her lawyer says she has another teaching job in another state.
