A Fayette County
teacher has been fined $200 plus court costs for smacking two students.
Kathleen Wade avoided jail time after being convicted in May of two misdemeanor
counts of battery.
Wade was a kindergarten teacher
when she hit one student in the head and struck another student on his ears
back in May 2013. The Fayette County Board of Education suspended her.
During trial testimony, Wade said —
looking back — she understood she did not handle the separate situations
properly.
Wade was fined $100 and court costs
for each battery conviction during her sentencing hearing on Monday afternoon.
