Chicago Schools Move to Fire Chaperones in Field Trip Death
The chief executive officer of the Chicago public schools last week moved to fire two employees who were present when a student drowned on a field trip.
Arne Duncan said in a June 10 statement that the 432,000-student district's investigation of what he called a "senseless tragedy" showed that several school board policies were violated.
In addition to seeking the dismissal of two employees, Mr. Duncan wants to suspend the three other Chicago public school employees who chaperoned the field trip.
Derrick Spencer, 14, a student at Goldblatt Elementary School, drowned in a hotel pool in Cincinnati on a May 24 trip to visit an amusement park.
The board's investigation showed that no lifeguard or water-safety instructor was present, in violation of board policy. The pool was also closed for the night, the probe found, and school employees who were chaperoning the trip had urged the hotel to open it so the students could have a party.
Mr. Duncan's recommendations will go to a hearing officer who will either affirm or amend them.—Ann Bradley EdWeek
Derrick Spencer, 14, was later found at the bottom of the pool at the Quality Inn in Evendale, Ohio, still wearing his shoes, socks and shorts. The pool area had been opened to the group for a pizza party. Spencer had been pushed in by one of his fellow classmates and wasn’t found until nearly 30 to 40 minutes after he’d been reported missing, according to news reports.
The four adult chaperones on the trip were placed on paid leave for violating the school’s policy that states students in pools must be watched with a certified lifeguard and second adult supervisor. The motel had no lifeguard present, and it was unclear how many adults were supervising the students.
