No firing, no suspension, and no forced training for the teacher who sent a bag of poop home with a student.

 

We've

been waiting for the investigation results for months. Now we finally have them. Sue Graham received a written reprimand only.

Y

ou might remember, it was a sticky note that sparked a fire storm a couple months ago. A kindergarten teacher sent a student home with a bag of poop after suspecting he had an accident in her classroom. The West Valley School District investigated the accusations against Apple Valley teacher Sue Graham, and found them to be true.

After 30 years on the job, she's not being fired. A written warning is going in her file instead. It says she's on "notice" and if she does something like this again, she could be fired.
