Teacher shares story of attack at Tucson charter school

“She was taking shots at me. A few blows with her feet. My main thing was to keep my head away from her.”“Unfortunately, that did not happen. She picked up the chair. I lifted my foot to stop it, and some of the students came in.”

Principal Matt Roll says the mother was also making allegations about inappropriate contact between Battaline and her child. Roll says surveillance video shows there was never any contact. The Tucson Police Department confirms there is no indication of inappropriate contact at this time. "There was no touch, there was no contact. We have all the video records, and TPD now has them as well. The incident in question never happened,” said Roll.“I owe a lot to those two students. I am not going to forget what they did. The same with the teachers too.”

The mother is facing felony charges of aggravated assault on a school employee, aggravated assault on a minor, and interfering with an educational institution.Brian Brennan is a Meteorologist and reporter for KGUN 9.
