Substitute Teacher Assault Sparks Outrage, Calls for Superintendent's Resignation

Parents in Country Club Hills, Illinois, are outraged after a substitute teacher at Meadowview Intermediate School was charged with assaulting a fourth-grade student. Sequoia Williams, a parent, stated, "We're asking that everyone come and they step in and they take a look into the district to see what is happening." The incident, which allegedly injured two other students, led to the arrest of 58-year-old Cheryl Moore on charges of battery and child endangerment. Parents are now calling for the resignation of Superintendent Dwayne Maine and a full investigation into the school district. The school board meeting on Tuesday night was filled with parents demanding answers and expressing their fear for their children's safety. The affected student described the assault, adding to the parents' calls for action. Next week, parents plan to protest outside the district offices. The school district has yet to respond to ABC7's request for comment.
