MANLIUS, N.Y. – An upstate New York mother is on trial for second-degree harassment after she handed a school board member a manila envelope, and it allegedly bruised the woman’s wrist.

Fayetteville-Manlius school board member Lisa Izant claims parent Marilyn Jeffrey approached her at a board of education meeting at Enders Road Elementary School on June 6, 2016 and tossed “a large manila envelope” at her that allegedly weighed several pounds, Syracuse.com reports.

Izant told police the enveloped struck her in the right wrist, causing a bruise to her median palmar nerve, or the nerve that runs up the center of the wrist. Izant filed a complaint with Manlius police over the “unwanted physical contact,” and Jeffrey now faces a charge of second-degree harassment, according to court records.

“She did absolutely nothing wrong,” Jeffrey’s attorney, Michael Castle, told the news site.

Syracuse.com reports:

Jeffrey and her husband – an F-M teacher at the time – had been battling the F-M district over the denial of certain special-education services for one of the couple’s sons. At one point, Jeffrey took the unusual step of moving into an apartment in another school district to get the services for her child that F-M denied. …

Jeffrey’s husband, Kent, filed a lawsuit against the F-M district in June 2017 alleging school officials defamed him and his family as they continued to challenge the district over the denial of services for one of their sons.

Jeffrey stood trial on the harassment charge before DeWitt Judge David Gideon on Thursday, though the outcome of the hearing is unclear.

The case was held in DeWitt because judges in Manlius recused themselves, according to the news site.

The Fayetteville-Manlius Schools website states Lisa Izant has served on the school board since 2009, with stints as a facilities committee chair from 2009 to2011 and as board vice president from 2011 to 2015.

Kent Jeffrey taught sixth grade at Eagle Hill Middle School for 22 years before retiring at the end of the 2017 school year. The family was in a dispute with district administrators over special education services for their 16-year-old son, Brett, who now attends East Syracuse Minoa High School. Last year, the family lived in two different homes – one in the ESM district and the other in the F-M district – while their older son, Ryan, finished his senior year at F-M High School. The family has since moved out of the F-M district.

Shortly after Ryan’s 2016 graduation, at a Sept. 12 school board meeting, F-M Superintendent Craig Tice allegedly said “I have intel from a very reliable source that the Jeffreys bought their son (Ryan) a shotgun for graduation.”

Another board member quested whether the purchase was in anticipation of an attack on the school board, and Tice “stood silent, and refused to refute or deny the express defamatory interpretation of his words,” according to the lawsuit, which named Tice along with F-M Board Vice President Marissa Mims as defendants.

Mims allegedly confirmed Tice’s implication with the “false and defamatory words”: “I have recently seen several posts about this situation (that is, that the Plaintiff has armed his son in preparation for an attack against the School Board) on the Fayetteville-Manlius parent to parent website,” the lawsuit reads.

Mims also later identified the Jeffreys in email that alleged they “bullied” school administrators about their younger son, court records show.

The family is asking an Onondaga County court to award a “substantial sum” as well as “substantial punitive damages” and legal fees for the alleged defamation.
