Message 2534 of 2537 | Previous | Next [ Up Thread ] Message Index Msg # Date: Mon Oct 4, 2004 1:29 am Subject: TEACHER RESIGNS / &High court hears arguments on education ADVERTISEMENT BROCKTON TEACHER RESIGNS -- A special education teacher at the Edgar B. Davis Elementary School quit last week after the state Department of Social Services investigated an allegation that she bruised the arm of an 11-year-old student, according to Brockton Public Schools spokeswoman Jocelyn Meek. The teacher, Linda Backner, submitted her resignation last Friday, Meek said. Joseph A. O'Sullivan, head of the Brockton teachers union, criticized the way DSS handled the allegation against Backner, and wants the state agency to revamp its policies on how such complaints are processed. "We lost a good solid teacher here," said Sullivan, president of the Brockton Education Association. "It's a shame." -- Emily Sweeney http://tinyurl.com/6ntt5 http:// http://www.boston.com/news/local/art...nity_in_brief/ DESCRIPTORS; CLASSROOM MANAGMENT, SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENT, DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, MASSACHUSETTS, BROCKTON, REASONABLE FORCE, FIRST YEAR TEACHER |
