A neutral hearing officer at ISBE found the boy’s testimony credible and recommended the teacher be dismissed. There was enough evidence to fire the teacher who, it also was alleged, sent the student dozens of texts and at least one partially nude photo that the boy’s sister saw on his phone. The boy accurately enough described the teacher’s car and the house in Evergreen Park where she drove him during the summer of 2012. The hearing officer asserted in paperwork it was the teacher, not the student, who wasn’t truthful about what happened. Yet the teacher still got years of protection from CTU and through its attorney, fighting for her reinstatement and tearing apart the credibility of an abused kid.
