Fayette kindergarten teacher to be sentenced Monday



A Fayette County teacher will be sentenced Monday for smacking two students.
Kathleen Wade could go to jail 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 has since suspended her.
During trial testimony, Wade said — looking back — she understood she did not handle the separate situations properly.

Each of the misdemeanor convictions could result in a jail sentence of up to one year and a $500 fine.
