Former Headmistress Faces Reckless Endangerment Charge | Boston News

Former head of Miss Hall’s School, Jeannie Norris, faces a reckless endangerment charge after two former students accused the school of failing to protect them from a teacher alleged to have raped them — a case that’s reignited decades-old trauma and sparked a criminal investigation. Norris, who led the school from 1996 to 2012 and is now 80, pleaded not guilty in court via video and was released on her own recognizance. The teacher, who worked there for over 30 years, also denies multiple rape charges. Norris’s lawyer insists she did nothing wrong, and while survivors’ courage in speaking out is lauded, the legal battle is just beginning — with a pretrial hearing set for November 18. This case forces a reckoning on institutional accountability and how schools respond to abuse allegations years after they occur.
