A middle school math teacher, Benjamin Nagurski, who was jailed after he allegedly threatened a student with a knife for speaking during a test, is outrageously still on paid administrative leave.

Bernalillo Police Chief Tom Romero said Nagurski was arrested Friday after school officials took him out of the classroom following the incident, but school district confirmed to PPD that Nagurski is on paid administrative leave..

According to a family member of a 12-year-old Bernalillo Middle School student, Nagurski pointed a steak knife at the student Friday. Family members say Nagurski told the class they could discuss the test problems with the person sitting next to them. But when the victim spoke, Nagurksi allegedly pulled out the knife.

“Students interviewed later by officers all corroborated the story,” said Chief Romero. “At one point, the teacher told the student the next time he could bring a machete.”

He said Nagurksi faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of an unlawful weapon, and that he was jailed on $10,000 bail

When questioning the procedural reasons for Nagurski still receiving pay and for how long, Bernalillo Public Schools Superintendent Allan Tapia didn’t return a request for comment.
