services manager or to the administration. Hembrook said when that happens,
they have a problem-solving meeting to decide if the student needs certain
interventions. Hembrook explained that typically when you do a check-
in/check-out with a student, the student is at least on Tier 2. Hembrook said a
Tier 2 means the student is receiving extra support and is on “our radar.”

Investigator informed Murphy that Student Victim was involved in an

incident with a gun resulting in death on April 27, 2023. Murphy explained
that she was not aware of what occurred with the student until May 1, 2023,
when Student Victim’s parents met with her. Investigator asked Murphy if she
was aware of anything that occurred on April 27, 2023, involving Student
Victim in any of classes. Murphy stated, “No I was not informed of
anything that involved the student.” Investigator asked Murphy what the
parents told her during the meeting. Murphy said the said White had
bullied their child and now is dead. Murphy reported the said
White made Student Victim sit out during recess and was controlling over
parental conference meetings. Murphy said the parents never went into the
details about either issue. Investigator asked Murphy if she was aware of the
parent-conference meetings White had with the Johnsons. Murphy said the
only thing White said about the parent-conference meetings was her concern
about Student Victim’s academics. Investigator asked Murphy if she had any
interaction with White when she was teaching in the classroom. Murphy said
she did “walk-throughs” in White’s classroom but only observed her teaching
students. Murphy said she did not see a setting that was inappropriate during
the “walk-through.” Murphy said White had taught at LES several years ago,
left to go to another school, and returned this year (2022-2023). Murphy
described White as being “very structured” and made sure her students do

19 | P a g e
their work. Investigator asked Murphy if she was informed of any issues with
White in the classroom. Murphy said two (2) parents were “adamant” their
child be removed from White’s class. Murphy said one parent felt White made
an inappropriate comment which embarrassed the student during class and the
parent also had a concern about her child being in the safety patrol. Murphy
said the parents wanted the student to move to a different class, but LES did
not have another class to support the student, so the student received a Hope
Scholarship and moved to a different school. Murphy explained the other
parents initially had concerns with the child’s grades. Murphy said the parent
returned with concerns after White “inappropriately indirectly” referenced the
child’s parent. Murphy said they were able to change the student’s schedule
to meet the student’s needs.

On May 8, 2023, Investigator met with witness Ms. Marie-Elena Curty, an

assistant principal at LES. Curty has been an assistant principal at LES since

parents alleged their was bullied/harassed by White. Curty reported being
responsible for pre-K, kindergarten, fourth grade, and fifth grade. When
Investigator asked Curty when she became aware of the allegations, Curty
stated, “When the parents came in (May 1, 2023).” Curty said the only
example the parents gave was that Student Victim did not have a good
participation grade. Investigator asked Curty if she was aware of anything that
occurred in White’s class with Student Victim on April 27, 2023. Curty said
the only report she received on Student Victim this school year was regarding
an incident that occurred off-campus. Investigator asked Curty if she went into
White’s classroom, and Curty replied, “Yes.” Investigator asked Curty if she
observed White treating students rudely or embarrassing them, and Curty said,
“Absolutely not.” Investigator asked Curty if she had witnessed or heard

20 | P a g e
White telling students their grades during class. Curty said a parent made that
allegation, but she had never heard White say anything like that. Investigator
asked Curty how many students were removed from White’s classes, and
Curty said, “Two.” Curty explained that two (2) other parents had reached out
with concerns but asked for them to be left in White’s class. Investigator asked
Curty if she heard White yell at any students, and Curty said, “No.” Curty
explained that White has a loud voice but didn’t yell. Curty described White

Victim had any disciplinary issues from White’s class. Cox said she had
disciplinary issues with Student Victim, but not from White’s class. Cox said
White reported disciplinary issues during recess to her but nothing during her
class. Investigator asked Cox about the Multi-Tiered System of Support
(MTSS) for disciplinary issues. Cox said they follow “the Three Tier system.”
Cox said if she receives multiple referrals on a student for repetitive behavior
or if a teacher feels they have managed certain behaviors in class and would
like for a student to get more support, they can request it. Cox explained a
student on Tier 2 would receive points as an incentive for good behavior. Cox
said the student’s teacher would check in on the student along with providing
counselors and a social worker to provide them with the support they need.
Investigator asked Cox if Student Victim was on the Tier system. Cox said
White did not have any students on the Tier system. Investigator asked Cox if
any students reported to her that White had treated them rudely. Cox said
recently a student (Student 33) had eloped from the school. Cox said the

21 | P a g e
student was walking down the stairs and was sliding down the railings. Cox
said White told the student was being unsafe, and needed to stop. Cox
explained the student was upset during class because a family member had
passed. Cox said the student referred back to being upset in class and White
told the student, “I don’t care how you are feeling right now, you’re being
unsafe.” Cox said the student reported what White said as being rude.
Investigator asked if there were any consequences. Cox said the student was
given consequences for eloping. Cox said she informed the administration
about what had occurred. When Investigator asked Cox if any students
reported to her White had embarrassed them during class, Cox said, “Not that
I can remember.” Investigator asked Cox if any students reported to her White
yelled at the class or at a particular student, Cox said students reported White
had yelled but she could not recall the specific occasion. Cox said White was
“a loud person.” Cox explained when a student reports something to her she
will discuss the incident with them. Cox said if it seemed like White was
getting the class under control or the student was being disrespectful causing
her to raise her voice, or the student was ignoring her requests and she raised
her voice, then I leave it at that. Cox said she has not had a student report more
than that. Cox said she also informed students if they have a “really big
concern” to let their parents know and they need to contact the assistant
principal. When Investigator asked Cox if she knew how many students
reported to her that White yelled during class, Cox stated, “Not more than five
(5).” Investigator asked Cox if any student reported to her that White was
mean. Cox said students reported incidents to her using the word “mean” but
after talking through it, the students felt she was not that mean, and White was
just correcting them. Cox could not recall a specific example and said “maybe
two” students had reported White was mean. Cox said she witnessed White
“raising her voice” to redirect a student but nothing demeaning. Investigator

22 | P a g e
asked Cox if she was aware of anything that happened to Student Victim on
April 27, 2023. Cox said since that day (April 27, 2023), a student reported
Student Victim was “writing lines” during recess and at lunch for dad as a

explained on April 25, 2023, during recess, Student 14 reported to her “She
yells a lot” and looked in the direction of White, who was with another staff
member and students. Zurakowski said she did not know whom Student 14
was talking about because did not specifically say the person was
referring to. Zurakowski explained Student 14 informed her had been gone
for a couple of weeks and “she” was mad because had not been there.

23 | P a g e
Zurakowski said she explained to Student 14 they only had a couple of weeks

students if they do not complete their work, their grades will not reflect a
passing grade. Investigator asked Digiugno if she heard White yelling at
students during class. Digiugno described White as a “loud person” and said

Investigator asked White if she reported any of her concerns with Student
Victim to the administration, and White said, “No. I have never even written

beginning of the school year.” White said she helped several students organize
their backpacks and binders. Investigator asked White if she woke a student
up in class causing to fall and hit head. White explained she had
“tapped” on the student’s chair, which scared the student, causing to jump
up. White said the student did not bump head. White said they both
laughed because it scared so badly. Investigator asked White if she had
yelled at students making them cry during class. White said students had cried
because they did not do their work and not because she had yelled at them.

reported she had yelled during class. White said she had a loud, structured
voice. White stated, “I’m not singling out or yelling at any kids to be malicious
or harmful to them.” White concluded the interview by explaining students
were interviewed after the passed out fliers in the car line accusing
her of making Student Victim take life. White said she did not think any
of the interview process was fair. White said she was a great teacher and the
data reflected that.

Findings/Conclusion
On April 27, 2023, Mr. and Ms. alleged their
committed suicide. After reflecting on previous conversations with their

32 | P a g e
they felt was bullied/harassed by Ms. Dawn White. The described
how their complained that Ms. Dawn White was mean, had embarrassed
and discussed grades during class. In a text message exchange with
sister, wrote that did not want any other student to feel how felt
and wanted to report Ms. Dawn White to the School Resource Officer.
Multiple students were interviewed who were in Ms. Dawn White’s class with
Student Victim. Multiple students described how Ms. Dawn White had
embarrassed Student Victim, laughed at low grades, and yelled at for
several reasons mostly related to student performance. One student reported
that Ms. Dawn White had picked on Student Victim since the start of the year.
While multiple students corroborated Ms. Dawn White’s treatment of Student
Victim, was not the only student who had experienced being embarrassed.
Multiple other students also described being singled out and embarrassed by
Ms. Dawn White during class. Students reported how Ms. Dawn White called
out their bad grades which embarrassed them, made comments they felt were
mean, and yelled at students for several reasons, mostly related to student
performance. When students were interviewed from Ms. Dawn White’s other
two classes, they reported similar treatment including Ms. Dawn White’s
ongoing yelling at students to the point of making them cry. Ms. Robin Morin
spent a half-hour in two of Ms. Dawn White’s classes three to four times a
week assisting several students. Ms. Robin Morin said she witnessed Ms.
Dawn White embarrassing students in class weekly. Also, Ms. Robin Morin
witnessed Ms. Dawn White yelling at students, which she said all the students
were aware occurred. Although Ms. Robin Morin witnessed unprofessional
conduct by Ms. Dawn White, she failed to report the conduct to
administration. Ms. Dawn White denied calling out any student’s grades in
class. Ms. Dawn White denied embarrassing students or yelling at students in
a malicious way. Yet, Investigator presented Ms. Dawn White with multiple

33 | P a g e
specific incidents that students provided as examples of how she had treated
them. While Ms. Dawn White denied most of the incident’s students reported,
she did recall several incidents slightly different than students reported. Ms.
Dawn White said she felt the investigation was flawed due to students being
interviewed after the passed out fliers in the car line accusing her of
making Student Victim take life. Yet, students and parents reported the
same conduct by Ms. Dawn White to staff/administration throughout the
2022-2023 school year, prior to the incident with Student Victim.
Furthermore, the administration and staff received several complaints from
students about Ms. Dawn White yelling and being mean prior to the incident
with the Student Victim. Those student reports resulted in no action taken
other than a conversation with the students who made the report. Also, several
parents of other students in Ms. Dawn White’s class reported similar conduct
by Ms. Dawn White to the administration prior to the incident with Student
Victim. Those reports resulted in students being removed from her class,
students transferring to another school, or remaining in her class. The conduct
students endured in Ms. Dawn White’s classes was unprofessional, and
egregious, and should never occur in the classroom.

In conclusion, the internal administrative investigation found that Ms. Dawn

White chronically inflicted psychological distress on multiple students by
verbally insulting, humiliating, and embarrassing students which created a
hostile educational environment. Ms. Dawn White’s actions were found to
have violated Marion County School Board’s Anti-Harassment Policy
Po3362. Also, Ms. Dawn White was found to have violated the Principals of
Professional Conduct for the Educational Profession 6A-10.081(2)(a)(1),
which states that Florida educators, “Shall make a reasonable effort to protect
the student from conditions harmful to learning and/or to the students mental

34 | P a g e
and/or physical health and/or safety.” Lastly, Ms. Dawn White’s actions were
found to have violated the Principals of Professional Conduct for the
Educational Profession 6A-10.081(2)(a)(5), which states that Florida
Educators, “Shall not intentionally expose a student to unnecessary
embarrassment or disparagement.
