Montville HS Official Claims 'Scapegoating' In Fight Club Case
Attorneys for Assistant Principal Tatiana Patten reportedly say their client is being treated unfairly over the incident.
MONTVILLE, CT — Attorneys for Montville High School Assistant Principal Tatiana Patten claim that their client is being made a scapegoat in connection with the fight club scandal that has rocked the community, reports The Day.
Patten, Montville Schools Superintendent Brian C. Levesque and Montville High School Principal Jeffrey Theodoss are all on administrative leave as a result of the case, where a substitute teacher alleged supervised fights between students in a closed classroom at the school.
Before the administrator suspensions, Levesque recommended firing Patten because he claimed she lied about not knowing about the October incident. But her attorneys claim that she is being made out to be the scapegoat because she did not lie, and she acted in a timely manner to report the case.
