EVERGREEN PARK, Ill., April 3 (UPI) — An art teacher at an elementary school in a Chicago suburb apparently put a plastic bag over a student’s head as a bad joke.
The teacher used poor judgment, Craig Fiegel, superintendent in Evergreen Park, said in a letter to parents. The superintendent said that the bag had a hole cut in it and the student, a sixth-grader at Southwest Elementary, was never in any real danger, The Chicago Sun-Times reported.
“I believe he knows that that isn’t something you do. It was an unfortunate thing to do,” Fiegel said. “You have to weigh in some of the intent and look at the situation. We all have lapses in judgment, make mistakes.”
The art teacher has taught in the school district for 22 years.
Lt. Greg LeCompte of the Evergreen Park police said that the girl’s parents have no interest in filing charges and the investigation has been completed.
