    Substitute teacher at high school assaulted but student not arrested


    A 75-year-old substitute teacher for Perry Meridian High School in Indianapolis says he was assaulted by a student on Feb. 1 but the student was never arrested. Before an ambulance took Rob Gooding to a hospital from Perry Meridian High School, he says he told school police he wanted to press charges. “Anything like this ever happened before? No. No,” Gooding said. Gooding started substitute teaching after he retired. He was in the middle of teaching a business class at Perry Meridian when a student attacked him. “I saw him come up, and he said, “I’ve had it,’ and he ...


    Statement from Perry Township Schools:

    “We are disturbed by the allegations involving a Kelly Services employee and student at Perry Meridian High School. Perry Police responded to the incident quickly. A police report was forwarded to the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office. Prosecutors will then make a criminal charge decision. Due to confidentiality reasons, Perry Township Schools cannot comment on disciplinary action it takes against its students. We can say, however, the district has zero tolerance for violence.”

The hulking teen — who Gooding claims stood over 6 feet — raised his Chromebook and was poised to crash it down on his head. “I saw him come up, and he said, ‘I’ve ...
