WICHITA — The Kansas Board of Education has taken the unusual step of revoking the license of a teacher who was accused of failing to promptly report suspected child abuse.
The Wichita Eagle reported that Donna L. Ford, 51, surrendered her license to the state board. Members voted 6-2 on Tuesday to accept the surrender and revoke Ford’s license.
But some education officials are alarmed by the step.
“It’s an absolute atrocity. What this does is send a shiver down the spine of every teacher in the state,” said board member Walt Chappell, who cast one of the no votes.
