TX. Teacher, district spar over fight at Spring High School

What officials say v. what Staff say. Teacher, district spar over fight at Spring High School

The Spring School District is recommending the school board fire a technology teacher at Spring High School after an incident Thursday involving the teacher and a student, but the teacher has his own version of the events and claims he has already resigned.

“For the last three years, I feared daily for the safety of my students and that of myself,” he wrote.

The Facebook page was no longer active Friday afternoon.

Vavra, reached by phone, did not want to comment on the situation due to legal concerns. He did say the incident happened outside, in view of many students and that he was only defending himself.

The Spring Independent School District said its investigation came to a very different conclusion about the incident.

“We currently have no evidence that the student physically assaulted the teacher. Furthermore, based on our investigation, we are recommending the termination of the teacher for cause, including the use of excessive force on a student,” the district said in a statement to Local 2 Investigates.

The school district declined to give any more information about the incident.

The district said it would forward its investigation on to the district attorney
