A former DeKalb County School District employee is facing charges after he allegedly struck a student at McLendon Elementary School in an incident in April, the third incident involving employee misconduct to surface this week.
Frederico Bryant, 40, resigned from the school district on May 12, school district officials said responding to an email about Bryant’s employment status.
Bryant, then a paraprofessional at the school, was charged with one count each of second-degree cruelty to children and reckless conduct in the April 28 incident. He posted $3,500 bail after being booked on the charges May 1.
District officials did not comment on the incident involving Bryant.
Bryant is at least the fourth school district employee leaving the district after misconduct allegations in the last month. A teacher and a paraprofessional will be fired, district officials said, after the two were recorded fighting on May 19 by a student in a Stone Mountain Middle School classroom.
The principal at Montgomery Elementary School said a substitute teacher there was fired after a student caught him watching pornography in class on April 21.
