I fully expect that the school administrators will end up indicted as well.[/quote]

The AP resigned right away.  She was apparently the one who made the call not to search the kid.  it's been a long time since I was a first grade teacher, but I cannot imagine asking permission to get the child to empty his pockets.  From reports, she was the one who heard all the reports that day.  Wonder if she has a connection to the mom?

From many reports, the child was known as trouble and had been assigned from another school.

That’s even worse, they endangered the children and staff at two schools!  Why does this happen?  No reassignments for these kids.  Out of the public classroom, period.[/quote]
The whole point of wanting to mainstream kids with IEPs has been completely twisted. The purpose wasn’t so that violent Larlo could never be removed from a mainstream school, it was so Carlo with dyslexia could still receive the same educational opportunities as kids who are able to learn traditionally. Larlo and Carlo are not the same and it is ok to admit that and act accordingly.[/quote]

This is not an IEP issue, and it never was.   It’s very obvious that this child needed to be institutionalized, even if he was never properly diagnosed.  The family turns out to be disturbing and enabling the trauma and  endangerment of many others.  They are probably aware of many other instances that would set off alarm bells.  The administration - an utter failure beyond the pale.  If anything good comes off of this, I hope Ms Zwerner will never have to work again a day in her life, not the teacher who was strangled, and the parents of the classmates should be livid and sue as well.  Nothing changes in this country without big lawsuits.  
School districts take notice.   Don’t confuse children who benefit from inclusion and children who are well on the path to become killers. This should not be that hard.  [/quote]
