Tamara Johnson, a climate specialist at a Meriden middle school, has been charged with exchanging “inappropriate text messages” with a student. Johnson, 37, turned herself in and has been charged with risk of injury to a minor/impairing the morals of a minor. She has been released on a $25,000 surety bond. The messages were exchanged with a student at Lincoln Middle School.
A climate specialist’s job in the Meriden Public Schools involves creating positive school environments. The school district has not released any further information about the case. Johnson’s arrest has raised concerns about the safety of students in the school system. It is a reminder of the importance of maintaining appropriate boundaries between educators and students. The Meriden Public Schools will be conducting their own investigation into the matter to ensure the safety and well-being of all students. Johnson’s case serves as a cautionary tale for educators everywhere to be wary of engaging in inappropriate conduct with students.
