The “board of education.”

This is a charter school. They’re supposed to be the best after Catholic schools.

Yes “Board of Education”.  My Dad was a HS Shop teacher and coach. His gift to each new teacher hired was a custom wood paddle with their name burned on it.

Some used theirs, others hung them in their classroom as a warning. I don't recall a girl ever being paddled, just boys, but girls were required to wear dresses to school back then (1960s).

I'm sure each teacher took their paddle with them in retirement or another school as they were very nicely finished.

Sometime long after I graduated policy changed and teachers could no longer discipline students but only send them to the principals office.  Delayed consequences are less effective than on-the-spot correction.
