OMAHA, Neb. (Omaha World-Herald) — A former teacher accused of dragging a student across a carpeted floor at an Omaha school is scheduled to be sentenced May 14.

Court records say Theresa Curley pleaded no contest Monday to two counts of negligent care of a minor.

Prosecutors dropped three counts of misdemeanor assault and battery and other charges in return.

The Omaha World-Herald reports that the principal of Walt Disney Elementary reported in September that Curley dragged a 10-year-old boy across the floor.

Authorities say the boy suffered four or five rug burns on his back.

Curley no longer works for the Millard Public Schools district.
