| Subject: Nashville teachers punished for reporting suspected abuse, sources say Mon Oct 30, 2017 11:30 pm | |
| Nashville school administrators are accused of punishing teachers at Glencliff High School who reported suspicions of a teacher sexually assaulting a student, according to the latest findings of an ongoing USA TODAY NETWORK - Tennessee investigation.
A source at Glencliff High School said the teachers were punished in March, the same month school Executive Principal Clint Wilson warned staff against spreading “negative talk, gossip and rumors.” Metro Nashville Police Department spokeswoman Don Aaron said there is an open investigation within Metro Schools where "youth services detectives are presently looking into a case involving reporting and are in consultation with the district attorney’s office." Former Nashville prosecutor Chad Butler also confirmed there is an investigation into “at least one recent incident where educators at a Metro Nashville Public School were suspended by their school administrators for reporting a suspected incident of sexual assault of a student by a fellow educator.” But Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk said his office is not aware of the issue at Glencliff. "Child Abuse Team Leader Tammy Meade reports that this office has not received any reports of administrators at Glencliff High school punishing teachers for reporting a suspected incident of sexual assault of a student by a teacher," Funk said in a statement emailed Friday by a spokeswoman.
