Buffalo Elementary Teacher Suspended
WEST VIRGINIA....
Putnam County school board members have decided to suspend Buffalo Elementary School teacher Carolyn Rogers for 30 days without pay. Last year, parents accused Rogers and her aide, Yvonne Francisco, of verbally harassing and intimidating students in their kindergarten class. Kathie Crouse, a mother of one of the boys in the class, planted a voice recorder in her son's backpack when she noticed that he was acting strangely after the first several days of school. The voice recorder, which Crouse said she planted every day for several weeks, allegedly recorded Francisco and Rogers calling the students babies and telling them they do not belong in kindergarten.
