Pinellas Teacher Sanctioned For Hosing Down Student with Dirty Diaper

Tampabay.com is reporting that the Pinellas County School Board punished a teacher this week who reportedly used a water hose to clean a prekindergarten student who soiled himself at school.

Stephanie Wilson, 52, a 30-year veteran and a teacher at Dunedin Elementary, was suspended for 10 days without pay.

According to district records, Wilson asked a plant operator for a pair of gloves and use of a hose after the student soiled his pants and diaper during outside play time on Oct. 28.

The two employees and the child went to the side of the building, where Wilson removed the soiled pants and diaper, the records say. While the plant operator held up a towel as a privacy screen, Wilson washed the child with low-pressure water. When she finished, she put the student’s pants on and headed to the classroom, where she put a clean diaper on.
