Legal Question in Education Law in California
Harrassment / Intimidation by a teacher
After parents filed a complaint about a teacher, he entered another teachers room and asked these 6th grade students for address information, parent and grandparent information. I feel it was an intimidation towards those students who spoke to us about the problem in class. After the asst. superintent questioned him on this he admitted to it and said it was on the advice of his attorney. He could have went into the office to retrieve personal info on the students, is what he did considered harrassment or intimidation?

Re: Harrassment / Intimidation by a teacher
Dear Parent:
It is neither harassment or intimidation, just odd behavior. It is not actionable as it is not any measurable invasion of privcy as the info is for the most part available in the administration office anyway.
Your best method of dealing with the uncomfortableness is to go to the administration and lodge a complaint. The other side of the coin is that the behavior, albeit odd, was innocent and should be ignored. This is a fine line.
