Emily Romine, an integrated preschool teacher at Stewartsboro Elementary School in Rutherford County, is facing suspension without pay following allegations of physical incidents with students. The incident, caught on camera on January 30, led to Romine being charged with three school violations, including alleged physical contact with students, professional misconduct, and not monitoring students while viewing non-school sites on her laptop. The charges detail multiple incidents of physical contact, as seen in the footage, such as grabbing, pushing, and kicking students’ chairs. The Rutherford County school board will vote on Romine’s 15-day suspension, with Romine currently on unpaid suspension pending the outcome of the vote.
