Why is the school district ignoring and not supporting their employee? I don’t like dealing the Race Card carelessly, but that would be my first suspicion. Is the teacher White, and is the thieving student black, along with most of the School Board? It does not matter, but that’s become a familiar dynamic these days.
If what she says is true, she should leave that school district, since they don’t offer her any apparent support after getting her care stolen. Then to invite the guilty student back to school as though nothing’s wrong?
Bad, however you see it. Some kind of groupthink agreement is in force.
Maybe close to pension age.

Secondly the teacher is a special education teacher and the story implies that the student who did the stealing is a special ed student. Special Ed students have all kinds of legal protections that everyone else in the school lacks. They can be suspended and expelled but only after going through very lengthy procedures. And depending on why the student is ‘special’ ie. his or her diagnosis, the school may not be allowed to punish him for theft.
If race gets thrown into the mix, the teacher may be ‘lucky’ to keep her job for reporting the theft. If she doesn’t have tenure, she can be fired for any reason, and embarrassing the district is one of them.
