DAYTON, Ohio -- A local high school teacher and football coach has been suspended for five days without pay as of yesterday, July 2, over an incident in May where he allegedly had a physical confrontation with a student.

Dunbar High School teacher James Lacking is accused of shoving a student for the second time in three months.

The district issued the suspension with a letter addressing an alleged incident on May 22 between Lacking and a 15-year-old student. 

The teen said Lacking threw him against a white board, shoved him, and tried to provoke him into striking the teacher.  Witnesses said Lacking yelled and shoved the boy.

Lacking, who has been employed with the school since 1997, was reprimanded in March for an incident in which he shoved a student for being disrespectful.

School officials will hold a hearing Monday, June 4, where Lacking said his fate in the Dayton Public School district will likely be decided.
