A northern Indiana teacher has been fired and banned from school property after an incident Friday in which he is seen on video slapping a student.
Baugo Community School Superintendent Byron Sanders revealed Mike Hosinski, a Jimtown High School teacher, confronted a student about a hoodie sweatshirt the student was wearing, the two argued in a hallway and Hosinski slapped the student in the face so hard the student's head hit a wall. The student was treated by medical staff for visible injuries.
“Any action that threatens to harm any student will be quickly, directly and severely addressed. All Jimmies must be able to learn in a safe environment,” Sanders said in a statement.
Administrators contacted the Indiana Department of Child Services and the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office and both agencies are investigating the incident.
