Virginia argues teacher is not entitled to extra compensation after being shot because the shooting was a "hazard of the job." The school board's attorney says it's an "unfortunate reality" that teaching is "not without its dangers."https://t.co/t3H7Sf70dz

This whole story has just been crazy. Abby (who I actually know) has been having a tough time of things with all this, which is understandable. I do have to note that it is the school board in Newport News that is arguing this, not the Commonwealth. Though to be honest I would not be surprised if our current administration did file something saying the same.
