CADIZ, Ky. -- A Trigg County teacher's aide has been suspended after he gave middle school students heart-shaped Valentine's Day treats that turned out to be cat food, the district superintendent said.
The first-year aide was suspended last week pending an investigation. ''He exercised very, very, very poor judgment,'' said Superintendent Tim McGinnis, adding that the name of the aide will not be released until the investigation is finished. When school officials learned of the incident, they immediately called the treats' manufacturer. ''They said there could be some light diarrhea,'' McGinnis said. ''. . . They were nontoxic, but that doesn't mean that a student couldn't have an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients.'' Assistant principal Beth Sumner said children exposed to the treats were encouraged to wash their mouths out, brush their teeth and visit the school nurse. She said there were no reports of illness. http://www.courier-journal.com/localnews/2002/02/21/ke022102s159718.htm ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
