Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: School violates policy when girl spanked by male administrator 
  
 SPRINGTOWN — Taylor Santos is a top student and athlete at Springtown High School, northwest of Fort Worth. 
  
 "Her grades are very important to her," said her mother, Anna Jorgensen. 
  
 Taylor said she didn't know a fellow student copied some of her classwork, but the school sent both girls to two days of in-school suspension. 
  
 After day one, Taylor didn't want to return. She went to the vice principal's office to request a paddling instead. He had Taylor call her mother, who gave her approval. 
  
 "I knew school policy was females swatted females, and males swatted males," Jorgensen said. "If Taylor wanted that, I said that would be fine." 
  
 But she quickly disapproved when she saw the results and learned who actually did the paddling. 
  
 "I came unglued," Jorgensen said. 
  
 While a woman was present in the room, a male vice principal swatted Taylor. Springtown ISD policy states "corporal punishment shall be administered only by an employee who is the same sex as the student." 
  
 "It looked almost like it had been burned and blistered, it was so bad," Jorgensen said. 
  
 "It was bright red," Taylor said. "I still have welts on me today," she added, 48 hours after the paddling. 
  
 Jorgensen has photos which prove how red her daughter's bottom was. 
  
 The day after the paddling, she called the vice principal. 
  
 "He told me this was normal for her bottom to look like this after receiving swats, and that he was not aware of the school policy that females swat females," Jorgensen said. "But he used too much force." 
  
 Springtown ISD Superintendent Mike Kelley did not agree to an on-camera interview with News 8. Over the phone, he explained schools never administer corporal punishment unless a parent requests it. 
  
 While Kelley would not discuss Taylor's case in particular, he did say the district might have made an error. He also stressed two adults are always present when punishment is administered. 
  
 But we've learned the superintendent wants to do away with the current policy. At a board meeting Monday, Kelley will ask the board to get rid of the same gender requirement. He said the makeup of administrators makes adhering to that policy very difficult on some campuses. 
  
 Jorgensen is upset. She said she will be at the school board meeting to urge them to vote "no." 
  
 "I think Taylor is proof that we need to keep that policy," she said. "I don't believe a man intentionally meant to do that to her, but it still happens, because men are too big and strong to be hitting 96-pound girls."

 Officials at a Texas high school plan to ask their board tonight to change a policy requiring that spanking punishments be administered only by employees of the same gender as the student to receive the punishment. 
  
 That proposed request comes on the heels of outcry after a male vice principal in the district administered legal spanking punishments to female students. 
  
 Taylor Santos, a well-regarded student and athlete at Springtown High School, near Fort Worth, Texas, chose to be paddled as punishment for allowing another student to copy her homework. She opted for the paddling over a second day of suspension after having already served one day of a two-day suspension. 
  
 Her mother, Anna Jorgensen, agreed to the punishment as long as her daughter was OK with it, but was surprised the spanking was administered by a man, she told local ABC affiliate WFAA. 
  
 As far as Jorgensen knew, she said, school policy mandated that males spank males and females spank females. 
  
 She said her daughter's buttocks were red and appeared blistered due to the force of the spanking. 
  
 The district's superintendent told ABC News that administrators followed Texas law. 
  
 "The Texas Education Code and our local policies state that if a parent or guardian does not want corporal punishment administered to his/her child, for each school year the parent or guardian must provide the district a separate written and signed statement to that effect. Otherwise, the use of corporal punishment is permissible," Mike Kelley, superintendent for the Springtown Independent School District said in a statement. 
  
 "In practice, our district goes one step further. It does not administer corporal punishment unless the parent or guardian requests that it be administered," the statement read. "There has been no deviation from that practice. Any deviation from the district's policy by district staff will be corrected. " 
  
 While paddling in public schools has been outlawed by 31 states, as well as by Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, the Supreme Court ruled in 1977 that it was legal unless it has abolished by local authorities, according to the web site Corpun.com. 
  
 It is legal in 19 states. Efforts to ban it in Wyoming, North Carolina, Louisiana and Texas failed. However, in 2011 laws were introduced in both Texas and North Carolina giving parents the right to exempt their students from paddling. 
  
 The day after her daughter's paddling, Jorgensen called the vice principal to complain, but was told it was "normal for her bottom to look like this after receiving swats." The vice principal added that he had no idea about the same gender swatting, Jorgensen said. 
  
 But according to the school's own policy, spanking of a student can only be done by an employee of the same gender. 
  
 Another student, Jada Watt, said she mouthed off to the same male vice principal, and received the same punishment, which was observed by a male police officer. 
  
 Her mother, Cathi, said she "wasn't expecting a bruise." 
  
 "A swat is a swat, yes it is and they do sting. But to bruise a child? If I had done that, they would have called CPS on me," Cathi Watt told WFAA, referring to Child Protection Services. 
  
 "Two men giving her a swat behind closed doors, that is creepy," she added. 
  
 Springtown ISD Superintendent Mike Kelley told WFAA that he will ask the board to eliminate the requirement of same gender spanking. 
  
 He said the same-sex spanking policy can be difficult to observe in smaller schools where aren't enough female administrators around to mete out punishment to female students. 
  
 Watt and Jorgensen object to any policy change. They don't believe men should hit women under any circumstances. |||||
Student:
Letting her daughter be spanked with a paddle for having shared homework with a classmate? Not a problem for one Texas mom. But knowing that a man administered the punishment, and left her daughter's backside bruised, does upset her—and the mother has school policy on her side, because only staff members of the same sex as the student are supposed to administer spankings, ABC News reports. "I came unglued," Anna Jorgensen tells WFAA of daughter Taylor Santos' paddling by a male administrator. "It looked almost like it had been burned and blistered, it was so bad." Jorgensen called the vice principal at Springtown High School near Forth Worth and complained, but he said Taylor's bottom looked "normal" after a paddling—and added that he didn't know about the same-gender paddling rule. Another mom says her daughter was also spanked by the same male vice principal—with a male police officer in the room: "Two men giving her a swat behind closed doors, that is creepy," she says. Taylor actually chose her paddling over a second day of suspension from school. Now the school is actually considering changing the rule to allow men to spank girls.
