I would hire a private lawyer if I were one of those two teachers - I already know from experience the union won’t help - the admin will side with the parents who support the little felons.
This is a clear violation of a school’s first duty: Safety of its students and staff - they sure as hell repeat that often enough.
Hope both teacher prevail in court with enough to retire comfortably. The entire system needs to be held accountable.

Yep. As you noted, the union won’t help. Most of them are in bed with administration these days. It’s all about PR.
Quick story:
I’m a retired high school teacher. One day a colleague of mine sent a violent and disruptive student to the principal. The principal sent the student right back to class. The student then attacked my colleague. She was badly injured, and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance.
The school district issued a press release: One of our teachers fell in the hallway and hurt herself. (!)
The teacher got a lawyer, sued the district, and won.
The taxpayers had to pay the settlement. The trash administrators are never held accountable.
I don’t understand. Aren’t the schools supposed to have mass shootings, since knife attacks don’t advance national disarmament? Which dem pols set this up?
