Why is the school district ignoring and not supporting their employee?


You may not like the answer, but the reality is the district’s first priority is going to be the students—if you think about it that is the way it should be. Not great for school employees, but there you are.

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.

That might all be true. But it has nothing to do with the police not following up on a reported crime, esp if they have security tapes. And now a 2nd crime was committed
What’s next?

Your response sounds very believable.
I didn’t know she was a Special Ed Teacher. That, according to many, gives the student carte blanc in doing what ever the hell they wish to do and can get away with.

My Governor, Gavin Newsom just signed a law making it even harder to suspend or expel troublesome students. Why?
Because ‘too many’ of this students were black.
Do you know what kind of student is enabled by such asinine laws? Students like Nicklas Cruz, the boy who shot and killed 17 people at his school in February of 2018.

Michigan did away with tenure years ago.
