LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A Clark County School District substitute teacher allegedly flipped a table with a special education student standing on it and also threw a heavy backpack at another child, according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained.
School district police arrested Roberta McIntyre, 66, last week on three counts of abuse and neglect, they said.
On Thursday, Feb. 1, officers responded to Robert E. Lake Elementary School for a report of a teacher who had battered a student. A staff member told police she was “concerned” about McIntyre because of “abusive” behavior she witnessed, documents said.
Earlier that week, McIntyre allegedly “put her foot up in a kicking motion” toward a special education student who police said was “charging” at her. The movement knocked the student to the ground, police said.
