A local mom is calling for two dance teachers in the Pasadena Independent School District to be fired. The teachers are accused of locking her daughter and other students in a locker room at South Houston High School.
“It’s like they are inmates or something. They are not inmates. They are not in prison,” Casey Chappel said.t, KPRC 2’s Re’Chelle Turner reached out again asking why the teachers locked the students in the room and if they were still employed with the school.“I just felt shocked,” Horizon Jones said.
Horizon Jones can’t get over the thought of being locked in the dance locker room for 45 minutes with several other students at South Houston High School.“We were getting dressed and the teacher, she usually counts down, like always it’s a normal thing. She counted down, but this time she counted a little bit faster than she usually does and I guess we was taking too long to get dressed. Me and a couple of others were walking towards the door.
Her mother, Casey Chappel, said she’s had minor problems with the teacher before but nothing ever this extreme. She filed a civil lawsuit against the district and is calling on the state to investigate the school. “Hopefully the teachers are fired and they will never be a teacher again or be around kids again because just like it happened to my child, who’s to say it’s going to happen to somebody else child?” she said.“Someone could have had a seizure, someone could have fallen out, someone could have used the restroom on themselves. That is not the proper way to discipline kids,” she said.Chappel and Matthews plan to meet with school officials later this week about the incident.
