Two Teachers Charged in Disturbing Student Discipline Cases

Creklan Middle School is currently at the center of two separate investigations after police arrested two former teachers accused of excessive disciplinary actions against students. The incidents prompted immediate removal from classrooms and the initiation of both internal and criminal investigations.

Afshan Qureshi, 50, was arrested after allegedly slapping a student in early October. Shortly over a month later, 38-year-old Tony Reid was charged by Gwinnett school police for purportedly grabbing a student's arm in November. Both individuals now face misdemeanor simple battery charges.

As former educators, Qureshi and Reid have been released from jail on bond under specific conditions. The school principal stated that due to the active nature of these investigations, further details could not be disclosed. Parents have been informed about the ongoing situations.
