TRENTON, Ohio – A substitute teacher was escorted out of Edgewood Middle School in Trenton this week after she allegedly tried to restrain a student with duct tape, and ridiculed others for their clothing.

Parents of students in an art class at Edgewood told WLWT 5 that a substitute teacher hit one student with a ruler and told her she shouldn’t wear Timberland boots because she is white. The substitute teacher, who is not a school employee, also allegedly tried to duct tape a sixth-grader in the class to restrain the child, according to the news site.

“On Thursday, we received information from three of our students that the sub had said some things that were not appropriate and some things had gone on,” Edgewood principal Alesia Beckett told WLWT.

“So at that point, we started our investigation right away.”

Beckett would not confirm the allegations, but said the sub’s conduct was inappropriate and she was escorted out of the building by administrators.

“She will not be back at Edgewood Middle School or the Edgewood School District,” Beckett said.

At least one parent, who was not identified in the news report, was happy the district took swift action.

“That’s good,” he said of the sub’s dismissal. “She don’t need to be back if she’s hitting on them.”

“When I grew up you got paddlings and all that, but now you’re not allowed to hit kids.”

The substitute was on loan from the Butler County Education Service Center, which in turn contracts with Warren County Educational Service Center, school officials told the news site.

Warren County ESC did not return WLWT’s call for comment on the incident.

The case is under investigation by sheriff’s deputies, but no charges have been filed and the teacher’s name was not released, according to the news site.

The Edgewood duct tape incident comes just weeks after a California student was awarded $250,000 in a lawsuit against Antioch Charter Academy II, in Antioch.

In that case the family sued the school, as well as its administrator, several teachers and a teacher’s aide, after a teacher duct-taped the boy’s mouth shut and ridiculed him in class. The teacher also allegedly trapped the boy under a chair to immobilize him during class.

The 2013 incident was resolved about a month ago when the school agreed to pay the family a quarter-million dollars, OrovilleMR.com reports.
