An Oregon middle school teacher disciplined for “unnecessary physical force” with students was not only allowed to keep her job, she was given a raise before the state eventually suspended her license for repeat behavior.

The Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission officially suspended Cedar Park Middle School teacher Anita Bradford’s teaching license for 60 days on Jan. 28, nearly four years after allegations first surfaced that she manhandled students and about 19 months after she resigned from Beaverton schools amid termination proceedings for a second incident, KATU reports.

In 2015, the commission found Bradford “violated professional standards related to classroom management and unnecessary physical force with students” when she used profanity with seventh-graders and hip-checked a student in class.

“Bradford addressed a non-compliant 7th Grade student (AT) as a ‘turd’. Bradford also admonished a group of students, stating something to the effect of ‘You are acting like a bunch of little shi…’ She did not finish the word, but the District concluded that she implied the word ‘shits,’” according to the 2015 order.

“According to the District, students also reported Bradford physically engaged with student AT, pushing him with her shoulder and hip. Bradford explained she only used her hand to direct AT to his seat,” the order continued. “The District also indicated that students reported Bradford pushed student AM who was running towards the doorway. Bradford explained that she put her hand up to stop AM, who ran into Bradford’s hand then dramatically fell to the floor to get attention.”

It worked, and Bradford was issued a reprimand from the commission and ordered to complete a “plan of assistance” to get things under control. Bradford completed the assistance plan in November 2015, but it wasn’t the end of her problems.

Less than two years later, Bradford was back before the commission, this time for slamming a door on a student and ignoring his injuries.

According to the commission’s most recent order:

Investigation determined that on May 30, 2017, Bradford sent student PV out to the hallway because he had been disrupting class and not responding to other redirections. PV reported he came to the door and requested to use the bathroom, but Bradford denied his request. PV reported that he returned to the door again later. Bradford looked at him through the window of the door and forcibly opened the door, striking PV on the hip with the door handle and running the door sill over the top of his foot, smashing his toes.

PC fell to the floor wailing in pain. Bradford walked past PV to the counselor’s office then returned to her classroom, passing by PV who was still crying on the floor.

Bradford failed to acknowledge PV, render aid, care, or assistance. Other adults and students heard or witnessed PV wailing in pain after being struck by the door. The counselor rendered assistance to PV. Other individuals who were interviewed failed to support Bradford’s version of events and added that Bradford’s classroom management was sub-par and contributed to the disruptive nature of her classroom.

The document states Bradford was on administrative leave for just under a month in 2017 before she resigned as the Beaverton School District moved to fire her that summer. It took until January 2019 for the state to take action on her teaching license.

The commission ultimately issued a 60-day suspension, followed by two years of probation.

“It’s really scary to think about,” said Michelle Mueller, mother of a Cedar Park seventh-grader, told KATU. “I mean, if that kind of teacher was here, I wouldn’t want my son here.”

The most egregious part of her case, and many others like it: Because of union contract rules, Bradford’s pay continued to ratchet up despite her poor performance.

“A KATU reporter discovered that in May 2015 when the first incidents were reported Bradford made $65,458 a year,” according to the news site. “When she resigned her annual salary was $75,520, a more than 15 percent increase.”

“If you’re going to let them hurt somebody, do physical contact with the child, you shouldn’t be allowed to work there and especially you should not be a teacher at all,” Mueller said.
