Where is Betsy DeVos When We Need Her?

[Spare_change]

Example No. 1

A Michigan public school employee has resigned and several teachers were disciplined in the wake of a scandal involving numerous school employees playing a sexually explicit game involving students who are minors, FOX17 reported.

The punishment of Bangor Public Schools employees came after video surfaced showing a group of school staffers at a bar naming students and teachers in a game where players say who they would like to have sex with, marry or kill. The video was recorded on Jan. 13 and parents at a school board meeting on Monday pressed administrators about when they became aware of the tape.

“It’s disturbing to know that these are our educators,” parent Jennifer Prentice told FOX17. “They are in charge of protecting our children, keeping our children safe, and the fact that they just blew that out of the water shows their character and shows that maybe they’re not right for this job.”

Example No. 2

CHICAGO – Chicago parents are sounding off after a partisan letter sent home with the district’s 381,000 students accused Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner of “cheating” students and stealing from kids.

The letter sent out Monday blames Rauner for Chicago Public Schools’ chronic budget problems that began long before his tenure, and likened the governor to President Donald Trump, accusing both of regular attacks on Chicago “to score political points.”

Example No. 3 - 37 (Cincinnati!!! Just one town)

Greater Cincinnati schools submitted at least 34 reports to the Ohio Department of Education regarding educator misconduct between January 2014 and April 2015. From there, ODE has the option to investigate further and, if the case warrants, impose discipline ranging from a letter of admonishment to license revocation.

Not every report results in discipline or even an investigation.

By law, ODE cannot comment on ongoing cases – even to confirm or deny their existence – so it's difficult to know where a specific case might be in the system unless disciplinary action is posted.

A district-by-district breakdown of what was sent to ODE:

Hamilton County

Cincinnati Public Schools

•Dater High School teacher Michael A. Johnson was fired after he pleaded guilty to two felony counts of gross sexual imposition regarding sexual contact with a student.

ODE revoked Johnson's license. He was sentenced to three years in prison.

•Teacher Charity A. Smith's license was suspended for one year after she resigned from CPS in the middle of the year with "no acceptable justification" and without consent from the board of education.

•Teacher Timothy Roberts was intervening in a fight between two eighth grade students on Jan. 16. When one resisted, Roberts allegedly grabbed him by the chest, carried him across the hall and threw him into another classroom. The student hit his head on a table and injured his arm as a result.

Roberts resigned shortly after, citing "personal reasons." No state discipline is listed.

Loveland City Schools

Special education aide Amber Browning resigned after she reportedly yanked on a student's hair to "teach him a lesson." The student was nonverbal and had autism, records show, and he had a history of pulling the hair of those working with him.

ODE ordered Browning to undergo training for working with special-needs students; to notify ODE if she found new employment as an educator; and, if employed, to submit detailed progress reports to ODE every three months for two years.

Northwest Local Schools

•Human Resources Assistant Director James Birdsong resigned due to an unspecified investigation. The district did not put any details on its reporting form. There is no disciplinary action listed with ODE.

•Teacher Judyth Pruitt was accused of dispensing medication to two students, failing to report a student who was cutting herself and "publicly blaming a student for her health condition."

ODE has not taken any action in that case, but Pruitt was disciplined in 2010 after she was accused of allowing students to complete their reading achievement tests during the time they were supposed to take the math achievement test. Pruitt denied the allegations, according to previous Enquirer reports, but ODE suspended her license for a month.

•Math teacher Kenneth Goodin III resigned after he was indicted for sexual battery, accused of having a sexual relationship with a student.

Goodin's license has been revoked. He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of attempted felonious assault and was sentenced to one year in prison.

•Inclusion assistant Brandon Lampley resigned after he was charged with sexual battery for having sex with a 16-year-old student. Lampley was sentenced to four years in prison but is currently on judicial release. His license was revoked.

Oak Hills Local Schools

Teacher Bruce Zuleger was reassigned after he was accused of letting students study for a test by giving them a numerical answer key ahead of time. He retired shortly after. No state discipline is listed.

Princeton City Schools

Music teacher Adam Thiel reportedly failed a drug test. No state discipline is listed.

Southwest Local Schools

Teacher Sara Badeau resigned after she was accused of falsifying student test results. No state discipline is listed.

Sycamore Community Schools

Industrial technology teacher/cross country coach John O. Kinsinger was suspended without pay for five days, suspended as a coach and ordered to complete anger management training after a practice where Kinsinger reportedly pushed two students against a wall and yelled at them, questioning their dedication to the team. The district noted in its report that Kinsinger is a good and respected teacher, and "the described situation is contrary to all that is known about Mr. Kinsinger." No state discipline is listed.

Butler County

Edgewood City Schools

Seventh-grade science teacher James Oney was suspended after he was charged with a drug-related offense. No state discipline is listed.

Fairfield City Schools

•Science teacher Gil Voigt was fired after he was accused of telling a student who said he wanted to be president one day that, "We do not need to have another black president." Voigt has previously denied the allegation, according to Enquirer archives. No state discipline is listed.

•Health teacher Mark Jones was accused of telling his students to do poorly on a beginning-of-year test in order to show greater growth by the end-of-year assessment. Jones was, according to the district, an "ineffective teacher on an improvement plan," looking to inflate his growth measures.

District-level discipline is unclear. No state discipline is listed.

Hamilton City Schools

•Psychologist Connie Nichols resigned after supervisors accused her of having poor, ineffective procedures and repeatedly failing to meet deadlines and/or follow directions. No state discipline is listed.

•Sixth grade teacher Carol Christian was suspended for one day after officials accused her of yelling at a student in an unprofessional manner. No state discipline is listed.

•Teacher Nicholas Austin Hughes was suspended without pay for three days, ordered to undergo counseling and reassigned after he was accused of sexual harassment. No state discipline is listed.

Lakota Local Schools

Middletown City Schools

Special education teacher Kevin Schanie was accused of forging signatures on Individualized Education Programs for students. Schanie either resigned or was fired; the process was not complete at the time of the report. No state discipline is listed.

Monroe Local Schools

A high school science teacher was suspended without pay for three days for "fudging" end-of-year assessment scores to make himself look better. The district redacted the teacher's name.

New Miami Local Schools

High school teacher Justin Madden was fired after he was charged with sex crimes involving students. His license was revoked, and he was sentenced to three years in prison.

Ross Local Schools

High school science teacher Rick Fernandez was suspended without pay for 15 days after he let a student make a class presentation that was "clearly inappropriate and harassing toward another special needs student in the class." The presentation contained inappropriate language and photos of the victimized student, records show. No state discipline is listed.

Warren County

Kings Local Schools

Then-high school principal Douglas P. Mader was accused of financial irresponsibility, failure to follow procedures for AP testing and changing grades without teacher(s)' notice. When asked about the grade changes, Mader reportedly said the grades were too low for particular students and "may have caused the parents of those students to sue the district."

Any district-level discipline is unclear. No state discipline is listed.

Little Miami Local Schools

•High school chemistry teacher Ty Whitaker was put on paid administrative leave after he reportedly made more than 100 anonymous complaints to the State Fire Marshal regarding safety in Little Miami science labs. In one of the calls, a hangup, Whitaker reportedly said, "Well, when it happens, remember you were aware of injustice." Officials considered that an "indirect threat" and launched an investigation. No state discipline is listed.

•Special education aide Mary Kamps resigned after she was accused of slapping a student in the face. The state took Kamps' license and prohibited her from reapplying.

•Intervention specialist Victoria Iannelli was suspended without pay for one day for not immediately reporting Kamps' actions.

•Special education aide Opal Fox was suspended without pay for one day for not immediately reporting Kamps' actions.

Wayne Local Schools

• Intervention specialist Pamela Bullock resigned after she was accused of throwing a marker at a handicapped, non-verbal student and directing a racial comment toward the same student later that day. No state discipline is listed.

•Elementary school principal Jean Hartman was put on administrative leave for allegedly knowing about Bullock's actions and not immediately reporting them.

•Special education coordinator Amanda Johnson was put on administrative leave for allegedly knowing about Bullock's actions and not immediately reporting them.

Clermont County

Goshen Local Schools

Teacher David L. Brown was accused of having inappropriate relationships with current and former female students. There is no listed discipline.

Milford Exempted Village Schools

Andrew Steinbrecher was being paid twice for the same fall guard supplemental position, once by the district and once by the band boosters. It appears Steinbrecher didn't know it was a violation. He repaid the money, and ODE has already told the district it is not planning to investigate.

Some will say that's not too much. After all, how many teachers are there in Tampa or Cincinnatti?

The answer is simple - if it's my kid, one teacher like this is unacceptable.

Example No. 1

A Michigan public school employee has resigned and several teachers were disciplined in the wake of a scandal involving numerous school employees playing a sexually explicit game involving students who are minors, FOX17 reported.

The punishment of Bangor Public Schools employees came after video surfaced showing a group of school staffers at a bar naming students and teachers in a game where players say who they would like to have sex with, marry or kill. The video was recorded on Jan. 13 and parents at a school board meeting on Monday pressed administrators about when they became aware of the tape.

“It’s disturbing to know that these are our educators,” parent Jennifer Prentice told FOX17. “They are in charge of protecting our children, keeping our children safe, and the fact that they just blew that out of the water shows their character and shows that maybe they’re not right for this job.”

CHICAGO – Chicago parents are sounding off after a partisan letter sent home with the district’s 381,000 students accused Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner of “cheating” students and stealing from kids.

The letter sent out Monday blames Rauner for Chicago Public Schools’ chronic budget problems that began long before his tenure, and likened the governor to President Donald Trump, accusing both of regular attacks on Chicago “to score political points.”

Example No. 3 - 37 (Cincinnati!!! Just one town)

Greater Cincinnati schools submitted at least 34 reports to the Ohio Department of Education regarding educator misconduct between January 2014 and April 2015. From there, ODE has the option to investigate further and, if the case warrants, impose discipline ranging from a letter of admonishment to license revocation.

Not every report results in discipline or even an investigation.

By law, ODE cannot comment on ongoing cases – even to confirm or deny their existence – so it's difficult to know where a specific case might be in the system unless disciplinary action is posted.

A district-by-district breakdown of what was sent to ODE:

The punishment of Bangor Public Schools employees came after video surfaced showing a group of school staffers at a bar naming students and teachers in a game where players say who they would like to have sex with, marry or kill. The video was recorded on Jan. 13 and parents at a school board meeting on Monday pressed administrators about when they became aware of the tape.

“It’s disturbing to know that these are our educators,” parent Jennifer Prentice told FOX17. “They are in charge of protecting our children, keeping our children safe, and the fact that they just blew that out of the water shows their character and shows that maybe they’re not right for this job.”

Example No. 2

CHICAGO – Chicago parents are sounding off after a partisan letter sent home with the district’s 381,000 students accused Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner of “cheating” students and stealing from kids.

The letter sent out Monday blames Rauner for Chicago Public Schools’ chronic budget problems that began long before his tenure, and likened the governor to President Donald Trump, accusing both of regular attacks on Chicago “to score political points.”

Example No. 3 - 37 (Cincinnati!!! Just one town)

Greater Cincinnati schools submitted at least 34 reports to the Ohio Department of Education regarding educator misconduct between January 2014 and April 2015. From there, ODE has the option to investigate further and, if the case warrants, impose discipline ranging from a letter of admonishment to license revocation.

Not every report results in discipline or even an investigation.

By law, ODE cannot comment on ongoing cases – even to confirm or deny their existence – so it's difficult to know where a specific case might be in the system unless disciplinary action is posted.

A district-by-district breakdown of what was sent to ODE:

Hamilton County

Cincinnati Public Schools

•Dater High School teacher Michael A. Johnson was fired after he pleaded guilty to two felony counts of gross sexual imposition regarding sexual contact with a student.

ODE revoked Johnson's license. He was sentenced to three years in prison.

•Teacher Charity A. Smith's license was suspended for one year after she resigned from CPS in the middle of the year with "no acceptable justification" and without consent from the board of education.

•Teacher Timothy Roberts was intervening in a fight between two eighth grade students on Jan. 16. When one resisted, Roberts allegedly grabbed him by the chest, carried him across the hall and threw him into another classroom. The student hit his head on a table and injured his arm as a result.

Roberts resigned shortly after, citing "personal reasons." No state discipline is listed.

Loveland City Schools

Special education aide Amber Browning resigned after she reportedly yanked on a student's hair to "teach him a lesson." The student was nonverbal and had autism, records show, and he had a history of pulling the hair of those working with him.

ODE ordered Browning to undergo training for working with special-needs students; to notify ODE if she found new employment as an educator; and, if employed, to submit detailed progress reports to ODE every three months for two years.

Northwest Local Schools

•Human Resources Assistant Director James Birdsong resigned due to an unspecified investigation. The district did not put any details on its reporting form. There is no disciplinary action listed with ODE.

•Teacher Judyth Pruitt was accused of dispensing medication to two students, failing to report a student who was cutting herself and "publicly blaming a student for her health condition."

ODE has not taken any action in that case, but Pruitt was disciplined in 2010 after she was accused of allowing students to complete their reading achievement tests during the time they were supposed to take the math achievement test. Pruitt denied the allegations, according to previous Enquirer reports, but ODE suspended her license for a month.

•Math teacher Kenneth Goodin III resigned after he was indicted for sexual battery, accused of having a sexual relationship with a student.

Goodin's license has been revoked. He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of attempted felonious assault and was sentenced to one year in prison.

•Inclusion assistant Brandon Lampley resigned after he was charged with sexual battery for having sex with a 16-year-old student. Lampley was sentenced to four years in prison but is currently on judicial release. His license was revoked.

Oak Hills Local Schools

Teacher Bruce Zuleger was reassigned after he was accused of letting students study for a test by giving them a numerical answer key ahead of time. He retired shortly after. No state discipline is listed.

Princeton City Schools

Music teacher Adam Thiel reportedly failed a drug test. No state discipline is listed.

Southwest Local Schools

Teacher Sara Badeau resigned after she was accused of falsifying student test results. No state discipline is listed.

Sycamore Community Schools

Industrial technology teacher/cross country coach John O. Kinsinger was suspended without pay for five days, suspended as a coach and ordered to complete anger management training after a practice where Kinsinger reportedly pushed two students against a wall and yelled at them, questioning their dedication to the team. The district noted in its report that Kinsinger is a good and respected teacher, and "the described situation is contrary to all that is known about Mr. Kinsinger." No state discipline is listed.

Butler County

Edgewood City Schools

Seventh-grade science teacher James Oney was suspended after he was charged with a drug-related offense. No state discipline is listed.

Fairfield City Schools

•Science teacher Gil Voigt was fired after he was accused of telling a student who said he wanted to be president one day that, "We do not need to have another black president." Voigt has previously denied the allegation, according to Enquirer archives. No state discipline is listed.

•Health teacher Mark Jones was accused of telling his students to do poorly on a beginning-of-year test in order to show greater growth by the end-of-year assessment. Jones was, according to the district, an "ineffective teacher on an improvement plan," looking to inflate his growth measures.

District-level discipline is unclear. No state discipline is listed.

Hamilton City Schools

•Psychologist Connie Nichols resigned after supervisors accused her of having poor, ineffective procedures and repeatedly failing to meet deadlines and/or follow directions. No state discipline is listed.

•Sixth grade teacher Carol Christian was suspended for one day after officials accused her of yelling at a student in an unprofessional manner. No state discipline is listed.

•Teacher Nicholas Austin Hughes was suspended without pay for three days, ordered to undergo counseling and reassigned after he was accused of sexual harassment. No state discipline is listed.

Lakota Local Schools

Band director Greg Snyder retired after he was accused of using his position for personal financial gain. In a letter to Snyder, ODE stated it will not take any action on the report and Snyder is in "good standing" with the state.

Middletown City Schools

Special education teacher Kevin Schanie was accused of forging signatures on Individualized Education Programs for students. Schanie either resigned or was fired; the process was not complete at the time of the report. No state discipline is listed.

Monroe Local Schools

A high school science teacher was suspended without pay for three days for "fudging" end-of-year assessment scores to make himself look better. The district redacted the teacher's name.

New Miami Local Schools

High school teacher Justin Madden was fired after he was charged with sex crimes involving students. His license was revoked, and he was sentenced to three years in prison.

Ross Local Schools

High school science teacher Rick Fernandez was suspended without pay for 15 days after he let a student make a class presentation that was "clearly inappropriate and harassing toward another special needs student in the class." The presentation contained inappropriate language and photos of the victimized student, records show. No state discipline is listed.

Warren County

Kings Local Schools

Then-high school principal Douglas P. Mader was accused of financial irresponsibility, failure to follow procedures for AP testing and changing grades without teacher(s)' notice. When asked about the grade changes, Mader reportedly said the grades were too low for particular students and "may have caused the parents of those students to sue the district."

Any district-level discipline is unclear. No state discipline is listed.

Little Miami Local Schools

•High school chemistry teacher Ty Whitaker was put on paid administrative leave after he reportedly made more than 100 anonymous complaints to the State Fire Marshal regarding safety in Little Miami science labs. In one of the calls, a hangup, Whitaker reportedly said, "Well, when it happens, remember you were aware of injustice." Officials considered that an "indirect threat" and launched an investigation. No state discipline is listed.

•Special education aide Mary Kamps resigned after she was accused of slapping a student in the face. The state took Kamps' license and prohibited her from reapplying.

•Intervention specialist Victoria Iannelli was suspended without pay for one day for not immediately reporting Kamps' actions.

•Special education aide Opal Fox was suspended without pay for one day for not immediately reporting Kamps' actions.

•High school teacher Justine Zawodny was suspended without pay for one day for reportedly sharing confidential information about a student with another district parent and student. No state discipline is listed.

Wayne Local Schools

• Intervention specialist Pamela Bullock resigned after she was accused of throwing a marker at a handicapped, non-verbal student and directing a racial comment toward the same student later that day. No state discipline is listed.

•Elementary school principal Jean Hartman was put on administrative leave for allegedly knowing about Bullock's actions and not immediately reporting them.

•Special education coordinator Amanda Johnson was put on administrative leave for allegedly knowing about Bullock's actions and not immediately reporting them.

Clermont County

Goshen Local Schools

Teacher David L. Brown was accused of having inappropriate relationships with current and former female students. There is no listed discipline.

Milford Exempted Village Schools

Andrew Steinbrecher was being paid twice for the same fall guard supplemental position, once by the district and once by the band boosters. It appears Steinbrecher didn't know it was a violation. He repaid the money, and ODE has already told the district it is not planning to investigate.

Reported cases of teacher misconduct

Examples 38 - 129

Just kidding - I'm not going to publish them all, BUT you can find 90 cases in Tampa, FL. Makes you want to move to Cincinnati.

90 teacher misconduct cases

---------------------------------------------------------------

Some will say that's not too much. After all, how many teachers are there in Tampa or Cincinnatti?

The answer is simple - if it's my kid, one teacher like this is unacceptable.

Let's do the math! 129 examples out of 7 million public school teachers. What chance does your child have of coming in contact with one of these people?

In two cities .... let's multiply those 129 examples by all the cities in the US.

NOW, what chance does your child have of coming into contact with one of these people? (I strongly suspect the parents of the children that WERE exposed to these people probably don't feel nearly as cavalier about it as you do.)

Why didn't you just admit your math sucks and be done with it?

About half of those claims you posted had nothing to do with students, so why would I care if my kids came into contact with them?

I would be more concerned with you polluting their minds.

Yeah, who cares about teachers with drug convictions, cheating on tests, roughing up kids?

Hell, we should let the kids into the local prison so they can learn what the REAL world is like.

In two cities .... let's multiply those 129 examples by all the cities in the US.

NOW, what chance does your child have of coming into contact with one of these people? (I strongly suspect the parents of the children that WERE exposed to these people probably don't feel nearly as cavalier about it as you do.)

Why didn't you just admit your math sucks and be done with it?

About half of those claims you posted had nothing to do with students, so why would I care if my kids came into contact with them?

I would be more concerned with you polluting their minds.

Yeah, who cares about teachers with drug convictions, cheating on tests, roughing up kids?

Hell, we should let the kids into the local prison so they can learn what the REAL world is like.

Where did I say that?

Is intellectual honesty the one character trait that you all seem to be missing?

Hey! You were the one that said you don't have a problem with "half of those claims". I just sorted them out for you.

Are you being delusional, or did you really forget what you just said?

Trying to sort out your word salad is like reading a middle school essay on a topic they obviously know nothing about.

You provide an unverified link giving few details and no time period and wait for the readers of your post to clutch their pearls and make use of the fainting couch.

Pick any other occupation in the world and you will find similar issues, but you don't want to do that because it destroys your argument.

You never see an article in the newspaper that says local bus driver accused of rape, but let it be a teacher and it is on bold print leading page 1. Let it be a restaurant manager accused of embezzling thousands of dollars and it might make page 12 in the papers, but let it be a school official charging a personal item on a school system credit card and you are right back to page 1.

Sounds to me like you're making a lot of excuses!!

Let me guess ... you're a teacher, right? You know, one of those who SHOULD be held to a higher standard.

What were you charged with?

How dare you accuse me of anything!

That wheelbarrow you push your balls around in must get awfully tiresome.

I guess that must be compensation for having a micro-penis.

YOU are the one who went on a hysterical rant about the goodness of teachers, and how no one should dare to challenge them, that they are so great that we little peoples should be thankful we have them even if they are druggies, crooks, and sex abusers.

It only seems logical that your a former teacher, and it did not end well. I accused you of nothing, but just wondered what open wound this thread seems to be poking at.
