Parents should counter sue her for endangering their kids...
Her BAC should have never been released.
Does it seem like our Republic is being turned upside down?
City should countersue for a whole slew of reasons.
A school field trip to a bowling alley? Really?
The morel of the story:
A small business can just fire a drunk, deeper pockets need to counsol and rehab first to avoid lawsuites.
My 2¢
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
If she gets the money, they might as well send the check direct to the liquor store and cut out the middle man.
“...her blood alcohol level was 0.27 — more than three times the legal limit to drive in Wisconsin.”
She must not have been born here in Wisconsin. Most of us register that at breakfast. ;)
This is ridiculous, but I can see them wanting to settle to just make her go away.
I agree; if she’s this much of a lush, she’ll be picked up on a DUI in the near future. Probably on her way to the bank to cash her check, LOL!
Let’s just hope she doesn’t harm anyone else along the way.
Why didn’t I get field trips like this when I was a kid? I was always having to go to museums, art galleries and such.

Spring has sprung. Teachers get drunk, whack jobs steal guns, the Speaker of the House reveals he did not spend the long winter formulating a replacement for Obamacare.

“But Caya was never charged or convicted. Investigators were only able to get her BAC from the hospital.”
That was the core of her case, and it would have evaporated had she been charged, as she should have. My guess is that Mr. Shyster waited for the statute of limitations to expire before pursuing her suit.
End of story. Insurance is covering it. Had the City insisted on going to trial, the insurance company would be off the hook and the City responsible for any award. I imagine the the taxpayers would be screaming from the other side that the City should have settled.
I can’t believe she wants to settle for only 75k, she could easily parlay this in to a few Hundred Thousand Dollars

When I got a DUI in 1980, a guy in my alcohol school class was a Truck Driver for Rocketdyne, he transported Rocket Fuel to Edwards. He got caught in the Littlerock Bar by his Supervisor, big rig out front. They Fired Him and he got a DUI. The supervisor called the Sheriff and the Sheriff pulled him over after he left the Bar
His Union Sued Rocketdyne and got him his JOB BACK with 1 1/2 Years Back Pay, because by 1980 Alcoholism was designated as a DISEASE and the ADA Law got him his money and Job Back.
She can do the Same.
An educational field trip to a bowling alley? WTF!!! Something is wrong...
it says her BAC was mentioned in a police report. Police reports can be obtained by request so it’s not truly private information.
If some one told the police her BAC and should not have, then there may be the issue, otherwise I think the teacher is entitled to nothing but to be fired for her choice to drink and be inadequately prepared and ready to perform her job that day.
