Overview

The valiant battle to save a student's life and a teacher's career The administrators stated the death of a child was of no public significance. The child's teacher disagreed. This is the story of the fight waged by one brave educator who believed a child's life did hold importance and was willing to sacrifice everything to protect a teacher's right to help a student in dire need. Using their own letters, depositions, emails and affidavits, Ms. Montanye recounts with exactness, the horrifying actions of school district administrators who not only ignored this young girl's potentially deadly situation, but furthered their crimes by spending thousands of dollars to punish the teacher who refused to let her student die. This story not only narrates the harrowing experience of a frightened, bullied, suicidal child, it also chronicles the relentless persecution of her caring teacher. It's a document-supported recounting of a school district's cavalier indifference, a district that was willing to fritter away countless taxpayer dollars to vindicate and justify their lack of intervention. The person who held these people accountable was one lone teacher. Standing up against a corrupt group of administrators and daring to take on a nefarious attorney, Ms. Montanye fought through the legal system to protect the rights of teachers who are committed to the welfare of their students. Teachers that dare to challenge a broken system whose sole concern is self-preservation. Teachers who give a voice to the children.
