Ryan a relentless bully, parents and teachers say
With a bulky stature and a quick tongue, the Sauk Village school superintendent was not unlike a schoolyard bully — that is, if bullies came armed with a divide-and-conquer strategy, cunning brilliance and a bevy of district lawyers to back them up, parents and teachers said Tuesday.
Several parents and former staff members breathed a collective sigh of relief that School District 168 Supt. Thomas Ryan is charged with theft and will be held in Cook County Jail without the possibility of bail.

Sexual misconduct triggers most teacher license revocations
At least 77 men and women school employees, from New York City to the smallest rural districts, lost their licenses over the past five years for sexual misconduct involving students. That's according to records obtained by The Associated Press under the state Freedom of Information Law.
Beyond brief scandals in local headlines, the records show sex with students and sex-related offenses are by far the most common reason licenses are revoked or denied.
Many of the teachers, principals, aides and coaches abused children for months or years before their licenses were revoked. Rather than one-time sexual assaults, most are termed "sexual relationships" that can last months.
The state records mirror the growing concern nationwide about sexual abuse of children in schools.

Former Student Sues District Over Right To Defend Yourself
HOUSTON -- A Houston-area teenager is suing his former school district over a brutal assault at school. He claims he ended up in a hospital because he was afraid to fight back, and he wants the policy to change, Local 2 reported Thursday.
Matthew Meloy said when four students jumped him and beat him at Hastings High School in September 2003, he did not defend himself because of the district's zero-tolerance policy on fighting.
The 6-foot-3-inch, 215-pound senior was on the baseball team. Then 17 years old, he was walking a frightened younger student to class when he was attacked.
Meloy's jaw was shattered and wired back together. Two years later, he still has problems eating.
