ADVOCATING 4 KIDS

Hello Blogmates:

Today, a Virginia Beach City Public School Special Education Coordinator was in court for charges of assault and battery against a parent during an IEP meeting at Larkspur Middle School.

Mrs. Jordan has been accused of physically grabbing and pushing a parent during an IEP meeting to prevent the parent from removing a tape from a recorder.

The parent suffered from many bruises and scrapes due to her encounter with Mrs. Jordan.

Mrs. Jordan’s hearing was at 2:00 pm today, in the Virginia Beach Criminal Court room one.

I was able to witness some of proceedings and observed Mrs. Jordan show no remorse or empathy for the physical and emotional pain she caused this parent.

What I did find interesting, was when the Bailiff noticed my attendance he approached me, to report that no visitors were allowed in the court for this case. Before I left the courts, I asked the clerk and other employee’s of the Virginia Beach Courts, about the formal procedure regarding observers for Criminal Court and was told that as long as no minors are involved, then the general public is allowed to observe.

This leads me to conclude, that the Virginia Beach Court system is protecting a Virginia Beach employee School’s poor conduct by changing the rules and not letting the public observe the hearing.  Perhaps this is why no local news coverage of Mrs. Jordan ’s assault on a parent has been made public.   

Thank god for the internet!!!!

We will keep you posted on the outcome of Mrs. Jordan demise for physically assaulting a parent at an IEP meeting.

No matter what the Virginia Beach Courts decide, it is my opinion and conclusion based in the information I have about this case, which the parent WAS assaulted by Mrs. Jordan and the chances of her doing again are likely if she goes unpunished for her actions!

Remember parents of Virginia Beach, IF Mrs. Jordan is the special education coordinator for your child’s school BE VERY CAREFULL!

Happy Advocating
