Also the grand jury found substantial evidence that witness tampering occurred at a criminal level including the sudden disappearance of the student’s disciplinary file and believe it was deliberately removed.

The assistant principal was arrested today. She appears in court tomorrow.

Mind blowing is an understatement. Horrific.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why there was such concern about searching the kid's backpack. This is not going through someone's home searching for stuff. You're on school property--school staff have every right to go through your things at any time.

I've worked in a public school that had kids with behavioral/violent issues like this kid, but I always felt welcome to go through a child's things any time I ever felt it remotely needed.

This school and administration sound truly inept and dangerous. I'm so glad the AP was arrested.

This sounds very much like the situation I am experiencing in my independent school, minus the gun and the choking incident. I have talked with child protective services. I can't wait to leave this school. The only good thing is my students family does not own a gun.

Oh. My. Word. So many errors and flat out eff you on the school’s leadership and administrators’ part. I hope the teacher and the parents of those students impacted get every last dollar and that this sends a message to schools nationwide that enough is enough!

I can’t get over TWO sets of physical files on the child both suddenly go missing. One from the classroom and another from wherever they’re normally kept. This Dr Parrott lying repeatedly about having one of them and then claims oppsie it was in my house no my car no I can’t remember. Then continuing to lie lie lie lie. WTAF?

I hope the grand jury’s suggestion of an investigation into that person for obstruction of justice is followed through.

+1 it was a surprise to me the reading teacher didn’t just grab it when it was next to his desk

Thank you so much for linking this. My god. No adults except the teachers did anything right for years. I posted ages ago that there was no way the shooter could have had any proper IEP/BIP etc. what with the parents coming to sit with him weirdness and I was right. The behavior in K should have put him in a much more restrictive environment. Just nothing that any of the administrators did makes any damn sense, up through the shooting AND not allowing those kids to transfer? My god.

Also adding - GREAT job by the special grand jury, that was terrible what they had to do and it really seems like they got to the bottom of it and their recommendations make total sense.

Truly shocking

How can people working with children be so incredibly ruthless?

The vice principal is evil.

Not allowing the "friend" who tried to warn adults the student had a gun to transfer schools?

The principal and vice principal are absolute cowards- locking themselves away when they heard there was a shooting leaving a terrified boy alone with a random grandmother (not his) who happened to be in the office?

The reading teacher hearing the shots didn't lock herself away, she went to subdue the 6 year old.

The teacher collapses covered in blood in the office and it is the random grandmother who just happens to be in the office the one who grabs a rag and puts pressure on the wound?

It is so much worse than what has been reported. I hope people wondering why teachers are leaving understand that there are SO MANY ADMINISTRATORS who are like this.

That grandmother is a hero

The Principal and Vice Principal were true cowards. They secured themselves safely away in offices and left a child to cower behind a copier.

The grandmother is a hero.

Me too, and to the mom who sold her house and anyone else trying to escape this school.

The assistant principal lied to the teacher that the kid was not at the school in K and instead had been in school in Chicago?! WITW? Why did she lie about the child when he had been at that same school for K where he chocked his teacher who then refused to continue teaching until he was permanently removed from her classrooom?
