I was verbally attacked this morning by two of my officers, and a parent. I am the President. A parent was also attacked by these three, who is not an officer. Can I do anything to the officers for attacking a parent? This happend on school grounds (in the office) and I just found out that a student was in the room at the time of the attack. Or are there any rules that I can give tho these "kids" on how to behave with me as well as other parents?

Check your by-laws. There should be a section related to conduct.

Can you not talk to your principal? If it happened on school grounds, he would take charge. That is considered bulling.

Marie, Personally, I think what was done to you was very unprofessional, especially when it was done in front of a student, which is double unprofessional! The principal should get involved since it was on the school grounds. This happened to me almost 10 yrs. ago at a former job so I know how it feels.

I was dropping off stuff for my sons Christmas party and I was verbally attacked in the hall in front of a friend, by a teacher that had NOTHING to do with the situation. The principal took the side of the teacher, we have a meeting to put the incident in the teachers permanent file. Which the principal warned her is what I wanted... the teacher can have a union rep. I am taking my husband and my witness..MY question is should I take a lawyer and where can I find information. The teacher did the same thing last year to me. Not going to take it this year.. What can I do?

Hi,

A meeting with the teacher and the principal is a must. Each side needs to voice their concerns and a replay of what occurred. A plan needs to be put in place for this to be resolved. If you are not satisified your next step is to go the principals boss (superintendent).

Once you have your meeting with the superintendent expect a follow up letter detailing what has occurred to date.

If you do not receive adequate results from that meeting then your next step is to the school board.

A chain of command must be followed by meeting with the teacher first, then their boss, then their boss before any complaints reach the school board.

If you go directly to the school board most boards will ask you if you followed the above procedure for conflict resolution and if not please do so and then get back to them on the results.

A lawyer isn't necessary at this point. A teacher usually brings in a union rep as a way to insure that no conflicts occur regarding the contract. Good luck!
