NEWPORT NEWS SUPERINTENDENT HANDED HIS WALKING PAPERS

By Bob Walsh


Zwerner was shot in the chest at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News at 2pm Friday           Abby Zwerner was shot by a 6-year-old student at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia.

 

Dr. George Parker III is the Superintendent of the Newport News Public School District.  He will continue to be so, for one more week.  After that he will get his $500,000 dollars (two years pay) and told to not let the door hit him in the ass on the way out.

By a vote of 5-1 the school board decided they could do without him.  They were unimpressed with the fact that three different staff members informed administrators that they thought the first-grader that shot his teacher was armed that day and NOTHING was done about it.  The vice-principle at the school has already resigned.

The teacher is suing the district.  Presumably she is suing the parents too, but the district has a LOT more money.  

According to the latest info the gun in question was "secured" in the parents house by placing it on a six foot high shelf in a closet.  It is further said that it had a trigger lock on it.  So far nobody has said where the key for the trigger lock was kept or if the lock was in place when the 1st grader appropriated the gun.
