BOARDMAN In the hour leading to the Boardman Board of Education meeting Monday, about 50 people rallied outside in support of a student who reportedly had a note about a water bottle stapled to his person by an aide.
By 5 p.m., about 250 cases of water were on hand, donated by district families as well as people from outside the area.
BOARDMAN An aide with the Boardman Local School District resigned Friday after being accused of stapling a note to a child’s hair or head, the Mahoning County Prosecutor’s office has confirmed.
Both the prosecutor’s office and the Boardman Police Department have concluded their investigation “of supplemental evidence obtained in the matter,” according to a news release from county Prosecutor Paul Gains.
Instead of pursuing criminal action, “prosecutors have secured an agreement that the teacher’s aide will immediately resign” with Boardman Local Schools, the statement reads.
The aide was not charged for allegedly stapling a reminder to a child, who is on the autism spectrum, at Boardman Center Intermediate School. The newspaper does not name uncharged suspects.
