Teacher Placed On Administrative Leave After Abuse Allegations

POSTED: 6:05 pm EDT May 15, 2008
UPDATED: 1:59 pm EDT May 16, 2008

A Dayton foster mother and teacher accused of endangering children has been placed on administrative leave.

Representatives for Dayton View Academy said Joynae Jones has been placed on leave pending the outcome of the investigation against her. Officials said she will not have any contact with school children during the period of leave.

Police said Jones, 29, was arrested after her foster son arrived at school covered with bruises.

According to police reports, students at Belmont High School spotted bruises on the 14-year-old boy's body during gym class. The incident reports says "the bruising showed evidence of hand prints, belt and belt buckle marks on (the student's) body."

According to the Ohio Department of Education, Jones is a teacher at Dayton View Academy, a Dayton charter school. The school's website lists Jones as an eighth-grade social science teacher.

Police said the foster child was placed in Dayton through Preble County Children's Services. A spokesperson for the agency would not go into any specifics about the teenager's case, but said in cases where abuse allegations are made, the child is removed from the foster parent's custody.

Police reports say Jones denied that she had anything to do with the injuries to her foster child.

Jones is out of jail on bond.
