It was the hard copy records that vanished. One file was located in a school administrators vehicle. She has amnesia and cannot remember how it got there. All of the disciplinary records had been removed from the file. This was located in the main office of the school.
The second file was kept in AZs classroom. The file has not been found.

Mrs White, the student's teacher last year, kept copies of the complaints she filed for the child. This was the only record, no hard copy was found, nor was it entered into the computer system. There were many witnesses including another teacher to the choking incident she refers to.

I think this whole bunch is crooked as you can get. The Commonwealth's Attorney, the school board and the city council. Any community that would not stand up for a teacher that had been shot, well you know what I'm thinking.....

Wow! Cover up central! A child with that many behavior issues, would have had a stack of paperwork, letters to parents.

Goes back to my old days, I had my daily planner, and jotted down every conversation with anyone, phone calls, any students I saw, just time, date, quick sentence on what we did. Everything was noted, in my own planner, meetings, dates, who attended, where it was, what was discussed. Sounds paranoid? Or just meticulous secondary documentation. Just takes a few minutes to jot down notes, review it at the end of the day. So important for professionals to do this.

Oh it's much worse, you should read the 32 page grand jury report. AZ passed out in front of the principal's door, bleeding from the gunshot wounds. The principal open the door and promptly shut unlocked it. Leaving the school secretary, a small child, and unrelated grandmother. The grandmother hit the child behind The copier and applied pressure trying to stop the bleeding. All while the secretary, call the police, I made an announcement over the intercom.

I mean, I can't believe the principal still has a job. The principal and the vice principal basically locked themselves in the office and did nothing.

The police couldn't get into the building after being called because the buzzer didn't work. Finally a janitor saw the police and let the man.

I just can't list all of the various failures, blatant neglect.

One would think shame alone would have prompted Foster to resigned on her own. But, apparently, some just can't be shamed.

And, is selective-amnesia-record-stealing Parrott still on the payroll, also?!

This almost sounds like attempted murder, or at least some kind of deliberate neglect.

Wow! This report is just shocking me to my core. Those teachers tried so hard to bring this to the attention of the assistant principal. My mother is a kindergarten teacher. I couldn’t imagine one of her kids choking her and only getting a one day suspension! No way in heck!

I don't get it either.
The day the shooting happened our school board held an emergency meeting with the Sheriff's Department. They approved SROs funding and staff for all of our elementary schools. We had officers on duty the next morning.
Our middle and high school have SROs.

It didn't take 40 meetings and the media for us to know what to do. I'm just so saddened tl the residences of Newport News allow this. I'm sad and all the teachers and staff didn't quit. It's clear to me, NNSB is part of the cover up, and I'm appalled the DA allow the time limit to expire obstruction to Justice.

The Newport News school district sounds like the kind of place where people only send their kids if they can't send them to private schools (which probably have long waiting lists and may be no better) or homeschool.

My brother and his wife, before they had their kids and were living in another city, encountered TEACHERS who homeschooled because that city's schools were so bad, and the private schools had long waiting lists, were incredibly expensive, and/or were no better.
 
Why was Zwerner targeted?! Why was Turner and her child SOOOO "special"?!

Why did they allow the child to return to the classroom of the teacher he choked? It seems the actions and inactions of those administrators just kept getting worse. Will we ever know the truth??

-A family member has been charged after a 3-year-old brought a loaded gun to Maymont Preschool on Monday.

Just after 2 p.m. on May 6, officers were called to the preschool in the 1200 block of South Allen Avenue for the report of a firearm at the school.

Officers arrived, and a staff member reported and recovered a loaded gun that was found in a male student’s backpack. Officers took the weapon.
...
RPD says they charged a family member, 34-year-old Valentino Christian of Chesterfield, with allowing access to firearms by children.

Well, maybe the 3 yr old ASKED "family member, 34-year-old" V.C. to put the loaded gun into his backpack. After all, Monday is ---

SHOW-and-TELL day./ sarc

Seriously, glad that no one was shot.

Interesting that Richmond PD charging the 34 y/o ID'ed the man as a "family member."
Seems unlikely to be brother of a 3 y/o, but possible.
Did not say father or parent, did not say a member of, resident of, or visitor to the 3 y/o's household.

Richmond preschooler brings a loaded gun to school

Community members are reacting after a Richmond preschooler brought a loaded gun to school.

.....
A member of the student’s family, 34-year-old Valentino Christian, is charged with allowing access to firearms by children.

Security expert Mike Jones said recently passed legislation will make charges more severe in these types of cases because guardians can now face a felony charge if their child gains access to a firearm and has been previously deemed a credible threat to themselves or others.

“The General Assembly united in a rash show of collegiality and said, we’re just gonna have to make parents feel the pain if they don’t do their job,” Jones said.

Jones added that prevention in these types of situations starts at home.
....
Richmond Public Schools sent the following statement to 8News about the situation:

During dismissal yesterday, a staff member found a weapon in a student’s bag at Maymont Preschool. The weapon was immediately reported to Care and Safety, and Richmond Police were called in. There were no injuries to students or staff.

Safety and security is a top priority of Richmond Public Schools, and we take incidents like this extremely seriously. We strive to build a safe, positive, and healthy culture at all our schools. We ask for parent, caregiver, and community support in promoting safe and healthy behaviors, and in reporting any concerning behaviors or reports so that we can address in a timely and safe manner.
