May 10, 2008 - Ralphiel Mack, 35, a teacher (listed as a social worker) and head football coach at Jefferson Elementary School, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child in connection with an April 28 incident that police only learned about nine days later.

The principal, Harriet Green- Richardson, was charged with hindering apprehension and tampering with a witness.

Police got an anonymous tip a day after the incident and sent a police officer to the school, but the principal told him that no one had called police. It wasn't until the father went to the police station on May 7 to report that Mack had "slammed" his son to the floor, causing a fracture to his left wrist that police started investigating.

When detectives returned to the school and interviewed witnesses and faculty members, they found evidence that school officials were trying to conceal the incident, and that the student was indeed assaulted by Mack, Police spokesman Sgt. Pedro Medina said. Police are continuing their investigation of the school to see if any other incidents went unreported.
