Criminally Charged Atlantic City Schools Boss Not On Board Agenda

The Atlantic City, New Jersey Board of Education will meet tonight (Tuesday, April 23, 2024) for the first time since Superintendent La’Quetta Small has been charged with various child abuse crimes.

We have learned in advance of tonight’s meeting that La’Quetta Small is not even listed on the board meeting agenda.

If this was botched dysfunction Atlantic City Board of Education, no one would believe that the Superintendent is criminally charged with multiple child abuse crimes … and, yet the board has not addressed the issue … and, may not even do so tonight.

However, the issue of La’Quetta Small can be introduced under new business and the board would take the matter into executive session to discuss and possibly take action.

Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small, Atlantic City Schools Superintendent La’Quetta Small and Atlantic City High School Principal Constance Days-Chapman all face serious criminal charges:

MARTY SMALL is criminally charged with:

• 2nd degree endangering the welfare of a child.
• 3rd degree aggravated assault
• 3rd degree terroristic threats
• disorderly persons simple assault.

LA'QUETTA SMALL is criminally charged with:

• 2nd degree endangering the welfare of a child.
• 3 separate counts of disorderly persons simple assault.

DAYS-CHAPMAN is criminally charged with:

• second-degree Official Misconduct.
• third-degree Hindering Apprehension of Another.
• fourth-degree Obstruction of Justice.
• disorderly persons Failure to Report Child Abuse.

Days-Chapman is due in court tomorrow, Wednesday, April 24, 2024 for her first court appearance.

Marty and La’Quetta Smalls’ first court appearance will be on Wednesday, May 15, 2024.

Should the Atlantic City Board of Education not take action tonight and suspend La’Quetta Small … the state of New Jersey will have to step-in and do the job for them.

It would be without precedent for a Superintendent who is facing multiple child abuse criminal charges to remain in place.

We have been advised by multiple Atlantic City Board of Education sources that La’Quetta has been showing-up for work and is pretending that nothing has happened.

Developing.
