by Anne-Marie Nichols

akela_dillion_2.jpgAkela J. Dillon, the Neuqua Valley High School teacher who slapped a 16-year-old black student for dating a white one, was found guilty of a misdemeanor battery charge. The incident was caught on video.

She’ll get a year of court supervision and was rdered to undergo anger-management counseling, pay $250 in fines and court fees, and avoid contact with the student.

Dillon, a first-year teacher at the high school, was immediately removed from the building following the incident. In March, she turned in a letter of resignation to be effective at the end of the school year, but was fired after her conviction.

About Teacher Smackdown

Thank goodness for teachers. Most are passionate, hard working, and decent. For many of us, it’s a teacher who got us where we are today. But that’s not what this blog is about. Instead, Teacher Smackdown identifies the molesters, thieves, and lecherous adults masquerading as teachers in our society. It also gives parents resources and information on protecting our kids and identifying these monsters. Teacher Smackdown – putting the spotlight on bad teachers betraying the public trust one kid at a time. These are their stories.
