Dear Pelham parents:
I wanted to make you aware of a serious situation that has arisen during this holiday break. One of our paraprofessionals has been charged with three counts of sexual assault. We have conferred with the Pelham Police Department who have issued a statement which is attached to this message.
At this point we want to assure all our parents and community that the individual in question has been immediately placed on leave pending further investigation, and will not be allowed on school property until the matter has been properly adjudicated and the Court has declared the individual innocent of all charges. Again, we want to offer every assurance that the sanctity and safety of our children's welfare is our utmost concern, and to that end, all appropriate steps have been put into place. Any further inquiries should be directed to the Pelham Police Department.
Thank you for your attention in this matter and if I may say in closing, we are very thankful and grateful to Chief Roark and his team for their timely response and appropriate investigation.

“Paraprofessional is a job title given to persons in various occupational fields, such as education, healthcare, engineering and law, who are trained to assist professionals but are not themselves licensed at a professional level. [1]
The Greek prefix “para” as used here indicates beside or side by side (as in “parallel”); hence, a paraprofessional is one who works alongside a professional.[2]”
A title designed to give non-qualified people more money. We all know there are no professionals in education.
WTH is a “paraprofessional”? A “teacher’s aide” with a union card?

Hmmmmmm............
why is is sexual assault not sexual molestation?
ODO read 196,000 miles
Think she can get a job in Boston?
The Cross is a nice touch. I’m sure that’ll influence the jury.
There’s something about her. I’d like to think that even as teenager I’d have had more self respect than to...
I Chi Wow Wa!
After a few beers, would she still be guilty?
YES, it would take so much beer that the feat would be impossible!!!
Arrested on allegation’s with no proof offered, or is this story just lacking these details?
A paraprofessional — often referred to as an aide — is a special-education worker who is not licensed to teach, but performs many duties both individually with students and organizationally in the classroom.
Do not want!
Sure sounds like a teacher’s aide with a union card. I marvel how the nuns handled 48 kids per classroom, taught catechism in addition to three Rs and outperformed the public schools.
There’s not enough tequila in the world....
Maybe if you were as drunk as that woman in South Dakota?
