Mother Ashley Nation has been working with state Senator Aaron Freeman, R-Indianapolis, to better protect children in the classroom.
INDIANAPOLIS — Ashley Nation is a wife and mother of two girls living in LaGrange, Kentucky, just outside of Louisville.“Healing is a journey, it’s not something where I can snap my fingers and say I’m healed,” said Nation."My daughter wants to do activities and that brings me so much anxiety because I have to trust other adults with my child. I know when I put my trust in a teacher I got abused.
“I think school B has a right to know what happened at school A,” said Freeman. “If you're going to be a teacher, I think we have the right to know what happened in that situation. Senate Bill 403 would require school A to notify School B about that misconduct." The school must also notify the Indiana Department of Education about the hiring, explain why it was necessary, and create a plan to protect the safety of students.
SB342 would require schools to look at that information, in fact, Dr. Angelov says school boards would have to approve employing someone with a DCS substantiation for child abuse or neglect. “We aren’t saying you can’t hire them, but they need to take extra precautions because they clearly have a pattern of behavior that is not safe for kids,” said Dr. Angelov.Former Beech Grove teacher’s aide Michael Lazzell pleaded guilty in November 2021 to public indecency after he admitted to fondling his genitals while working at Beech Grove Middle School in January 2019.
Beech Grove City Schools says they never saw Lazzell’s background check because he worked for staffing company Kelly Education.
