Teacher Filmed Kindergarten Fights : Rita Baci let child beat others while she took videos, officials say

A John E. Ford Montessori teacher who was put on 15 days’ unpaid suspension Monday is accused of videotaping a kindergartner beating on other children and not stopping the fights, according to just-released documents.

The Duval County schools investigative report found that Rita Baci, 65, also pushed a kindergarten student out of her class and left him unattended.

Officials said the investigation also found that on three occasions, Baci used her cellphone video camera to record a boy beating on other students.

The investigator found that Baci had shown the tapes to other students and a vice principal before a meeting with the child’s parents.

Officials say Baci violated the district’s code of ethics and professional conduct by failing to make a reasonable effort to protect students from harm.
