Education

That specific school's administration is responsible. The superintendent is not the first person who had knowledge of this student, his specific situation and the school. The school administrators should be fired. They are the one who had the direct responsibility. The superintendent is a scapegoat. I taught 1st grade for 15+ years and when I had severe behavior issues, and there were TONS in the regular, highly populated classroom every single year. I complained, spent hours each day documenting cases and filed paperwork, arranged meetings with the proper channels, crossed my "t" and dotted my "i" and rarely were any cases handled in a timely manner and in accordance with all of the district's requirements for Spec Ed students. People on the outside have no idea what it is like for teachers every, fucking day. This is on top of the regular 10 hour day. Poor pay, no respect and BS like this is the reason you can't hire new teachers. There is hardly any real, meaningful support in many, many cases.
