Accused Atlantic City Schools Boss Child Abuser Is Still At Work?

How is this allowed to continue?

La’Quetta Small is the Superintendent of Public Schools for Atlantic City, New Jersey.

That's the who. The what, is the fact that Small currently faces a disqualifying 2nd Degree child abuse criminal charge.

Small Is Charged With Endangering The Welfare Of A Child

Yet, somehow, for more than one year … La’Quetta Small has continued to work and have direct student and faculty contact. This is not supposed to be allowed.

New Jersey Law States That Small Must Be Suspended … This Is How It Reads

New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 18A:6-7.1) requires that when charges are pending for a crime that would be a disqualifier upon conviction, a school employee is ineligible for employment until the case is resolved. For child abuse, this means:

The individual will be removed from their position pending the outcome of the case. Once the legal process concludes and a determination is made, the employee's eligibility for continued employment will be re-evaluated.

The State Of New Jersey Simply Refuses To Remove La’Quetta Small

It’s a public disgrace that this has been allowed to continue.

You would expect a suspect Atlantic City Board of Education to act this way.

You would never expect the state of New Jersey to play along like this.
