A Poynette high school teacher apparently captured on video yelling insults at a student has been placed on administrative leave.
The teacher hasn’t been identified.
School District of Poynette Administrator Matthew Shappell says an investigation into the incident has started.
On the video the teacher is heard calling the student a “jerk” and a “dummy,” telling the student, “You should hear how everyone talks about you around here.”
District officials haven’t confirmed that the video comes from the incident being investigated.
The student’s parents have been contacted and the district says appropriate support is being offered to the student involved.
