Family wants mother of alleged killer transferred to another school

A petition is calling on the mother of a former Newtown man charged with killing two people to be transferred from her teaching position.  Jeannette Roderick Manfredonia is a biology teacher at Newtown High School. where the sister of one victim is set to attend tomorrow.  WTNH-TV reports that the family of Nick Eisele wants her removed from the same building as the incoming senior.  The district reportedly told them Manfredonia would have to voluntarily transfer to be reassigned.  Her son Peter is accused of killing Nick Eisele during a multi-state kidnapping and killing spree in May. The change.org petition has garnered thousands of signatures, but a counter petition supporting Mrs. Manfredonia described the long time teacher as beloved, patient and kind. Newtown Schools Superintendent Dr. Lorrie Rodrigue said in a written statement that while the district empathizes with the victims and their families, cannot comment on student or personnel matters.
