HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Teachers at Rolling Hills Elementary School in Huntsville contend that attacks from students are sending some to the hospital, and they’re trying to force district officials to address the situation.
Alabama Education Association Uniserv director Adam Keller, who represents Rolling Hills teachers, told AL.com “more than a handful” teachers have complained about attacks by students and the school administration’s lackadaisical response to the incidents.rollinghills
Keller took the teachers’ grievances to the media this week after he contends multiple attempts to discuss student attacks with school and district administrators went unanswered. In a five-page letter to district officials last week, Keller outlined the teacher complaints and pinned the blame on large class sizes and insufficient resources and staffing – both issues that would require district officials to hire more union members.
