No criminal complaint against teacher

     By all means my favor does not always fall on the teacher, but today it did.  For many in today's world there is no accountability for one's actions.  Everyone's job is tougher these days and those who make it difficult to do that job should be dealt with in a timely manner and meant to see the error his ways and pay the consequence.

DANVERS — A Salem District Court clerk will not issue a criminal complaint against Steven Cohen, the band director at Holten Richmond Middle School, following a clerk magistrate's hearing yesterday.

Three sets of parents had sought criminal charges against Cohen, who has been on leave since April after acknowledging to the principal that he "may have forcefully guided" three disruptive students into his classroom, according to a police report.

Ana Cocci, assistant clerk for Salem District Court, said she decided it would be best if the Danvers schools handled the issue.
