Maya Angelou Public Charter School
Student injured by chair-wielding sub (Washington Post, May 18, 2010)
A seventh grader at Maya Angelou Public Charter School suffered a fractured ankle last week when a substitute teacher allegedly threw a chair at him during PE class. Lucretia Murphy, executive director of the See Forever Foundation, which operates the school, confirmed the incident, first reported Monday evening by Fox 5 news.
"There was a definite incident in which a substitute teacher did shove a chair toward a child," Murphy said. "That's completely inappropriate, so the substitute has been banned from the building."
Murphy declined to release the name of the teacher, who she said had worked at the school before without incident. She said a police investigation was underway.

As you read through these three stories, try to add up the amount of time and money spent on the extensive state school commission and courtroom costs, not to mention the amount spent on wages for the lawyers, judges, clerks, and everyone else who had to process this mess. And never forget, this money was your tax dollars.
