Teacher Shot by 6-Year-Old Resigns from Virginia School District.
TL;DR
Abby Zwerner, the first-grade teacher who was shot by her 6-year-old student, has resigned from her job with Newport News Public Schools. Zwerner's lawyers claim that she has not been paid since February, and the school district tried to get her to take workers' compensation. However, NNPS says that Zwerner refused workers' compensation and exhausted all of her leave. Following the shooting, HR began processing workers' compensation for Zwerner, and she was on admin leave with pay until the workers' compensation payments began.
