Assist. Principal Left Blind In One Eye After Middle School Student Threw A Clothes Hanger At Her Face During A Confrontation At School

Candra Rogers was addressing a report of a classroom fight when the student, displaying aggressive behavior, hurled several chairs at her, which she managed to avoid. However, the hanger struck her in the right eye, causing it to be dislodged from its socket, as reported by WFAA.

In a press conference on August 27, Rogers recounted the harrowing experience: “The hanger hit me in my right eye and knocked it out of the socket. I grabbed my face while blood poured out and stumbled out of the classroom.”

The severity of the injury prompted paramedics to airlift Rogers to a hospital. She has been left blind in the eye, and it is feared that the blindness may be permanent. If the condition proves untreatable, doctors may have to remove the eye. “I am still believing God for a miracle to restore my sight,” Rogers said.

Additionally, Rogers will need reconstructive surgery on her eyelid.

The student involved has been taken into police custody, and the incident has been referred to the Navarro County District Attorney’s Office and the Juvenile Probation Department, with charges expected to be filed. The student has also been barred from returning to the school.

Rogers, who joined the Corsicana district last semester, is the wife of Eugene Rogers, who began his first season as Corsicana High School’s football coach this year. The district has not provided a timeline for her return to work.

Rogers criticized the current state of public school funding, highlighting the need for better protection for educators. “We should never have to fear being in a classroom with an aggressive student,” she said. She called out Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the state legislature for not increasing public school funding despite a $32 billion budget surplus.

Rogers pointed out that maintaining school funding at 2019 levels has led to various issues, including academic struggles, discipline problems, teacher retention challenges, and a reduction in student support and enrichment programs.
