An attorney for Abigail Zwerner said that she has notified the school board in Newport News that the 25-year-old teacher plans to sue the school district over the Jan. 6 shooting.
She said that Zwerner first went to an administrator at around 11:15 a.m. on the day of the shooting and said the boy had threatened to beat up another child, but no action was taken. Shortly after 1 p.m., another teacher told an administrator that a different student who was "crying and fearful" said the boy showed him the gun during recess and threatened to shoot him if he told anyone. Again, no action was taken, she said.
Superintendent George Parker III, who has been sharply criticized by parents and teachers in the wake of the shooting, has said that at least one administrator was told on the day of the shooting that the boy might have a weapon, but no weapon was found when his backpack was searched. Police have said that school officials did not tell them about that tip before the shooting, which happened hours later.
Administrators don’t give a s**t. They sit in their cushy offices and tell everyone else what to do. They offer no support and don’t give employees the time of day. Hopefully they start listening!
