Special education teacher suspended for spitting on a student but she calls it 'a big misunderstanding'
A Texas special education teacher was suspended on Tuesday for spitting on a student after a staff member discovered a video of the incident, CBS reports. According to the report, Tiffany White has resigned from her job at Grand Prairie Independent School District (ISD) after the shocking cell phone video of the incident emerged this week. The video appears to be shot by the student who was spit upon, and does not show what sparked the altercation.
Grand Prairie ISD said in a statement Thursday, “Due to the nature of that interaction, the teacher was immediately placed on administrative leave and will not be returning to the classroom. The safety and dignity of our students is paramount to providing a nurturing environment where students can learn and be successful.”
