PATERSON — The city teachers’ union plans to file a complaint over a determination that a teacher attacked by a student in his classroom was healthy enough to return to work, the organization said Wednesday.

The assault was captured in a YouTube video, which allegedly shows a 16-year-old freshman at John F. Kennedy High School grab the 62-year-old teacher, yank him backwards and slam him to the floor last week in a classroom as other students looked on.

Paterson Education Association President Peter Tirri said the school district’s medical provider found the teacher could return to work.

“I don’t know how that’s possible,” Tirri said of the decision. “It’s clear that this man was body slammed with the kid on top of him and it’s clear that his head hit a desk as he was going down.”

This would have been automatic expulsion from school for the year.
I hope the teacher is alright.
