I'd have to look for the link, but supposedly his mother refused to sign the IEP and also refused to consider alternate placement for him.

Ugh. If this is true, this child should’ve been placed in an “alternative” school. Parents like this are driving the bus in the race to the bottom.
I hadn’t heard this. I’d love to see the link if you find it. This is such a complicated case in terms of this child’s needs and what services are available for very young kids with serious behavioral problems.

It means that they have no means to pay a judgment and if pressed will likely file for bankruptcy.

I heard that the parents of other kids are also suing the school and the teacher who was shot. Don’t know if any suit has been filed.

Why would they sue the teacher? That's insane!

Because the teacher knew about the gun and didn’t make what they believe were reasonable efforts to prevent the shooting. It might be a means to attempt to get around legal immunity issues if the school has to defend her. Don’t really know their theories and strategies. I would normally think of a teacher as judgment proof but she has no apparent income yet is not working which makes it a murky situation.

Teachers' unions traditionally are supposed to defend teachers in a case. I don't know if she was a member or not--but that was the unions' big selling point to teachers--to protect you if you are sued.

Are you sure they are suing the teacher and not the school system? Seems to me that it is the administrators who are mostly at fault--other than the mother, of course.

NP here. I read too that a group of parents of students who were in the classroom were considering suing the teacher for the reasons already stated. I would think the public backlash would be serious and I read that a few months ago and haven't read anything re it again. I believe one of the parents has a daughter who was threatened individually by the shooter earlier in the day and she had complained about the boy to the teacher and the teacher told her to sit down.

I definitely think suing the teacher is the wrong approach. It was reported on wavy.com which is a local tv station's website.

As a lawyer I would strongly recommend against suing the teacher who was shot. The deep pockets here are the school system and the administrators who were on notice of this kid’s violent behavior and that he had a gun on him that day. You cannot get anything out of suing the teacher that you couldn’t get out of suing the school system and the Richneck administrators, other than tremendous backlash.

As a litigator in a government job, I actually think it’s brilliant. Often immunities prevent success in lawsuits against government entities. But negligence by government employees is a different matter. And government entities may be responsible for the torts of their employees. So it’s a back door to get to the government entity. If a suit was filed, and I don’t know if one was, it will be difficult. There are so many bad feelings all around but the teacher and the school will be forced to cooperate because they will be on the same side.

Oh so preventing kids from shooting guns at school is now a teacher’s responsibility? Ridiculous.

People who purchase guns should be held responsible when a minor accesses them. A person who owns a gun with minors in the household is absolutely responsible for ensuring that the guns stay out of the hands of the minors. So a person who allows a minor to access guns should be responsible for any consequences that occur due to that negligence. I hope she serves her terms consecutively.
