[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This one’s weird. Ian Prior makes the whole thing dubious. It’s hard to know who LCPS claims the teachers shared the information with or what info it was. However. As a teacher, I can say that the teachers being told that it isn’t sexual assault and to just try goofy diversion tactics rings true. Very difficult to make any judgment based on the limited info available to us though [/quote]

A child grabbing you isn’t sexual assault. This lady filed a Title IX complaint against a child. A non-verbal disabled child.

Now, I agree with you that the school could have done a bad job supporting the child and implementing the proper behavioral strategies. But I’m inclined to believe the school that the child did better when transferred out of her class. I’ve certainly seen all three things in my time - unstable teachers who can’t cope; schools that don’t provide supports; and kids that do much better when moved from a problematic teacher. What we DO know for sure is that instead of working on the FBA or advocating for the student, this lady decided to create a media spectacle claiming she had been sexually assaulted.[/quote]

Yeah but that’s what’s confusing to me. Is it a Title IX complaint that her employer did nothing about her reports of the assault? We don’t know the kid to know how intentional it was but nobody deserves to endure groping by a student. So if the school did nothing, maybe that’s the grounds for complaint. Not against the student themselves. I would also be curious if the movement that supposedly stopped the behavior was into a male teacher’s class. Too many unknowns here to make any clear judgments .

+1. When was the FBA conducted?

The admin in this story sound like dopes, too. Good luck ever getting another SPED teacher to work at that school. [/quote]

Also possible the FBA was done when the kid was younger and the BIP created as a result of that FBA was no longer effective. If the behavior changes or the function of the behavior, a new FBA and BIP may be necessary. Again, we can’t know. But I’m curious to see how this one plays out. The admin telling them to use a quiet hand sign to discourage the touching sounds like the kind of thing a certain kind of dopey admin would suggest. Particularly a male admin who is not understanding or taking seriously the degree of groping a female teacher was being told to accept at the hands of a student. [/quote]

Even if the school isn’t implementing the BIP then the response is for the team to call an IEP meeting. not sue the school and go on fox.

I read the complaint. It’s a complete hack job. [/quote]
