“Ms. Thompson came to the school due to an issue with her child,” the report states. “(The teacher) said that Ms. Thompson was yelling at her and that she had walked away from her into a class to avoid any further incident with Mr. Thompson, but she continued to come at Ms. Martin and struck her in the face several times.”
