Kansas City, Mo. ? The Kansas City School District will not renew the contracts of two principals and two teachers accused of misconduct by students.

Three of the four work at Pitcher Elementary School. Teacher Damara Lashley has been accused of taping students to chairs, and Principal Rick Mills was accused of spanking students.

Both Lashley and Mills have said the allegations are false, although Mills has openly advocated corporal punishment.

Swapnam Kumar, another teacher at the school, allegedly knew about the excessive discipline but did not alert district officials.

Stephen Aspleaf, the principal at Kansas City Middle School of the Arts, was also let go. Aspleaf was suspended with pay last month after he allegedly failed to call police about an attempted sexual assault.

The district’s board of education made the decisions last week in a closed meeting.

Maurice Watson, an attorney for the board, revealed the board’s actions Friday, but he declined comment on the specific reasons for the contract terminations.

Altogether, the board voted not to renew the contracts of 34 teachers.

The contracts expire June 30.

Another district principal, Rodney Hare of East Elementary School, resigned earlier this month. Hare, who was suspended without pay last month after he allegedly failed to report alleged physical and sexual assaults on a 13-year-old student, resigned April 9.
