Parent assaults teacher over mask dispute at Amador County school, superintendent says
A Sutter Creek elementary school teacher was allegedly assaulted by a parent during an argument over their child having to wear a mask.

"According to Torie Gibson, superintendent of the Amador County Unified School District, a parent upset about their child having to wear a mask began verbally assaulting the principal. When a male teacher stepped in the situation escalated and a physical altercation happened, resulting in injuries.
The teacher was treated at the hospital and released Wednesday night and a report was filed with authorities, according to Gibson.
A letter Gibson sent to families said that "assaulting a staff member will never be tolerated on any school campus" and called for people to "take a breath, pause, listen and walk away if necessary."
