The story of a Vermilion Parish Teacher handcuffed at a school board meeting is going viral today. Here are some details from our news partners at News 15. You can watch the Video below.
A teacher was arrested at tonight’s Vermilion Parish School Board Meeting (1/8/18) during a discussion about renewing the superintendent’s contract.
A video posted on Youtube, by Chris Rosa, shows a woman who was later identified as Deisha Hargrave questioning how the superintendent could get a raise when teachers, according to her, haven’t seen a bump in pay in years.
The board asked her to leave, but ultimately a city marshal’s deputy led her out of the boardroom and cuffed her in the hallway outside.
Board member Kibbie Pillette says the board voted 5 to 3 to give the superintendent a 3-year extension with a $38 thousand dollar raise.
Superintendent Jerome Puyau adds they don’t plan to press charges against Hargrave.
