What came next for the parents and the kids was a nightmare. How was school? The girls said the punishment happened on Wednesday afternoon at around 2 p. One of the parents went to the track to check the temperature that afternoon and said it was at least degrees.
The cheerleaders ended up with first and second-degree burns. At least one cheerleader was seen at the University Medical Center burn unit. The parents are hoping for criminal charges against the teacher and said an investigation with police is ongoing.
The teacher was placed on administrative leave, pending an investigation. You can read the full statement from Lubbock ISD below. This action resulted in multiple students being injured.
We are heartbroken over these events, as the safety and well-being of our students is our top priority. We are addressing this matter with utmost urgency, and are fully committed to investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The teacher involved has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of this investigation. We want to express our deep concern and regret for the pain and distress this has caused the students and their families.
