ACHS Principal Charged With Failing To Report Child Abuse

Atlantic City’s high school principal is facing official misconduct charges after she allegedly failed to report child abuse. According to the Press of Atlantic City, Constance Days-Chapman is charged with official misconduct, hindering apprehension of another, obstruction of justice and failure to report child abuse. The charges may have cost Days-Chapman her chairmanship of the city’s Democratic Committee. A student informed a school staff member in January that they were being physically and emotionally abused by their parents and they had previously brought up the issue to Days-Chapman, who denied the student had told her about the abuse.
