Teacher Awaits Hearing On Assault.
Ridgefield Lawyers representing the Board of Education and suspended teacher James Norton will meet tomorrow with Assistant Education Commissioner Eric Groezinger to lay the groundwork and set a date for Norton's hearing on charges of assaulting a student. Norton was suspended by the Board June 1 after Charles Boxer complained that his son Scott had been hit on the ear during a classroom argument. Tomorrow's meeting will be held at the Commissioner's office in Trenton. Representing Norton will be his attorney, Saul Alexander of Paterson. Norton, a physics teacher, has been with the school system for 9 years and has received several assurances of support from both teachers and parents. The New Jersey Education Association is paying all his legal fees and the Ridgefield Education Association offered to assist him financially while he is suspended. He is not receiving his salary during his suspension. The usual procedure in cases of this type is for the commissioner to name a hearing officer who in turn listens to both sides and recommends action.
