"A kindergarten teacher arrested after police said she made a student eat food thrown in a garbage can will be out of the classroom on medical leave for the rest of the week while school officials conduct an internal investigation, Supt. of Schools John Ramos said Wednesday.

"The teacher went into the garbage can and took the banana out of garbage can and requested that the student eat it. That's the extent of it," Ramos said, speaking before a crowd of reporters in his office. "Not to make light of it, but I think the story has taken on other ramifications."

Anne O'Donnell, 67, of Rockland Road in Fairfield, a teacher at Park City Magnet School, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of risk of injury to a minor, according to police Capt. Lynn Kerwin. Released on a promise to appear in Superior Court, she is scheduled to be arraigned Monday.

Ramos said he regrets the incident, adding: "This is not typical of what goes on in Bridgeport public schools."

Police said the charges were filed after an incident last Thursday when the 5-year-old boy apparently tossed out his lunch of chicken nuggets and a banana from the school cafeteria. The teacher then allegedly went over to the garbage can, pulled out the food and forced the boy to eat it in front of her.

But Ramos said the teacher explained she was concerned the student had not eaten his lunch and asked that he eat the banana. Officials would not explain why the 5-year-old was eating lunch in the classroom instead of the cafeteria."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
