Anthony Caprio was working as a substitute teacher at Hillhouse High School in New Haven when a fight broke out between two students.
Caprio went over to break up the scuffle but ended up on the receiving end. One of the 17-year-old girls who was fighting began assaulting him, causing a broken bone around his eye and injuries to his wrist, back and shoulder. When the dust settled, Caprio filed a lawsuit against the New Haven Board of Education for lost pay and emotional distress. In the wake of that and other lawsuits that have been filed from teachers injured in school house fights, lawmakers are looking at a proposed bill to keep teachers out of harm’s way.
