I’m a little late…just now reading this article. I live in Independence but Im familiar with USD #500 and I wouldnt send a stray dog to one of their schools. Im not surprised at the neglience of the para cause most of the teachers in KCK don’t care about the students. They just show up to get some experience and a check and then they go back to Johnson county, Leavenworth or wherever they from. The teaching is awful but they wonder why the students are below state average in every key category from reading to math. The superintendent and her flock of puppets should all be fired and replaced with someone who gives a damn!!!

Damn public schools are goin downhill. If you can’t trust sendin your kids to school without somethin crazy happenin what does that say about the future of education? Who can you trust?

I don’t live in KCK, and I’m not familiar with the school district, but I would be shocked if there’s no disciplinary action. The quality of education in public schools is not really all that good in the first place, but having negligent personnel on staff makes it just that much worse.

This entire situation is truly unfortunate. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families.

Has the superintendent talked to either of the parents?

Mr. Hodges I see in your article you spoke with the Assistant Superintendent, but perhaps you should attempt to contact the head Superintendent. I’m sure he or she is aware of the incident by now but maybe you’ll receive better clarification of school board policy.

This situation is sad no doubt but where did they learn about sex anyway? They had to have seen something to spark their interest. Parents have to start being more careful when expressing affection around kids. We lose sight that they are always watchin us.

Breena, I agree…the parents should hire a lawyer. The emotional and physical damage caused to those children will never be erased no matter how many apologies are issued. The substitute seems to be unclear of school policy but common sense should still tell you that when an incident of this severity takes place, the proper people must be notified immediately. Explaining that she “didn’t know the procedure after an event like that” is inexcusable and she should lose her job.

Sounds like the para was unprepared from a training perspective. But an incident like this should never happen. I can’t imagine what the parents are going through. But the most important thing right now is the children. Hopefully the parents will seek good counseling.
