Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

My child has Autism and attends a private special education school. I reported to the principal in November that he came home and told me the teacher yells at him all day. I had conferences with the teacher and principal about this and the teachers reply was "You told me to get tough on him." I removed my child from the school in March because he was having tanturms about the verbal abuse he suffered at school from the special education teacher. I took him to his pedeitrican and she referred me to a psychiatrist and prescribed medication. The teacher still is employed at the school despite other parents having witnessed the teacher yelling at other students in the lunch room, which they reported to the principal Can I sue the principal for damages and get monetary compensation for his doctor bills because she did not report the abuse to Child Protective Services?

You need to ask this question under civil law but it is doubtful that yelling at a student will result in monetary compensation.
