The Newport News Education Association President condemned the premise of the school division’s motion to dismiss Abigail Zwerner’s pending $40 million lawsuit.

The motion was filed last week by attorneys representing the School Board and argues that Zwerner, who was shot in her classroom at Richneck Elementary in January by a 6-year-old student, is only entitled to file a worker’s compensation claim because the injury she sustained from the shooting is a “workplace injury,” and that the shooting was a hazard of the job.

    Graves called on all school staff to attend upcoming board meetings.

    I’d love to see a march on the boss with teachers getting rowdy and disrupting the board meeting. I’m guessing the board already knows they need to circle the wagons and a bunch of teachers taking their turns to yell one at a time is going to be an endurable annoyance for them.
