[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, from the Washington Post article:

A top district official reprimanded Vigna in 2013, calling his conduct “indefensible, inappropriate and intolerable.” But the district allowed him to keep teaching, even though state officials months earlier had warned that teachers should be removed from contact with students after repeated and “obvious inappropriate” behavior.

Who was the "top district official?"  Name names. That person should be fired, have their pension revoked because they are going to be responsible for the millions of dollars owed in settlement to the victims. One lawsuit has already been filed.  If the "top district official" had done their job properly the teacher would have been OUT of the classroom. Instead the "top district official" enables further abuse. [/quote]

The official's name is on the documents. If you read the article on a computer rather than a phone, you can access the documents.

My understanding is that he was only reprimanded rather than fired because no child had accused him yet. Once he was accused, he was removed. This isn't unique to MCPS or teaching. I've seen it with other professions as well, especially medical.[/quote]

Your understanding is wrong.  Even after the accusation, he was not fired.  He was still on the MCPS payroll during the trial.

Lap sitting is not permitted and he repeatedly was reprimanded for having students on his lap.  Twice in 2008, multiple times by fellow teachers, and removed from the classroom in 2013 for 3 weeks for an "investigation."

Child Protective Services was not called until 2015.  Dozens of people failed to report what they witnesses and knew.  [/quote]

I didn't say he was fired. I said removed. And he was removed from the school. [/quote]
