During the public-comment portion of the meeting a parent described an incident in which, she said, a teacher at Laurel Park Middle School told her son to "shut the f--- up" while he had not been misbehaving. The parent said the incident humiliated her son and that reports to school administrators produced an unsatisfactory response.

"My son was disrespected and humiliated in front of his peers," the parent said, describing the episode as part of a pattern of outbursts by the same teacher. She urged the board to investigate the matter and to ensure the county "values their safety and dignity over the image and the convenience" of shielding staff from consequences.

The parent said she and others had raised concerns to administrators and asked the board to look beyond administrators who, she said, "choose to ignore" complaints. She requested decisive action to both remediate the incident and prevent future occurrences.

Board members did not announce a formal disciplinary action during the meeting. The parent noted that students and families talk and that unchecked behavior can escalate into confrontations involving older students. The board and staff were asked to review the complaint and report back; no timeframe or formal motion to investigate was recorded in the public minutes provided at the meeting.

Ending: The board heard the complaint during public comment and took no immediate public vote; the parent asked for a timely and decisive response to prevent repeat incidents.
