Randolph Forde, 10th Grade Teacher at Georgia High School, Accused of Putting Hit on Student

There are some really crazy people running around in our midst. Randolph Forde, a 10th grade teacher at Mundy's Mill High School in Clayton County, Ga., has been accused of trying to persuade another student to kill a 16 year-old boy. Officers said he was charged after holding up a piece of paper with the alleged victim's name on it saying he had a hit on him. If these allegations are true, this idiot should be terminated immediately.

Marcia Killebrew’s attorney, Terrance Madden, said the incident began when Forde called the student out of the classroom one day.“(Forde) asked him if he was gay,” said Madden. He said the student became angry at the suggestion and the next day the two had a verbal altercation.

Weeks later, police said, Forde got a Mundy’s Mill student off a school bus and told him he had a hit on someone and needed him to take care of it. Officers said the student asked who it was and Forde said he would let him know. Source: WSBTV

He faces charges of making a terroristic threat. A personnel hearing is scheduled for Tuesday. He is currently on paid administrative leave.

UPDATE#1: According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, a Clayton County grand jury has declined to indict a teacher who lost his job after being accused of threatening to "put a hit" on a student. School officials, however, indicated the grand jury decision won't affect Forde's job status.

"The matter regarding Randolph Forde’s employment with Clayton County Public Schools is closed," the school system said in a statement to the AJC. "Mr. Forde, like any other person, can apply for any position posted by the district."

Mr. Forde reached out to the Hinterland Gazette to have the article taken down and his picture removed. We will remove the picture, but nothing in our article suggested he was guilty. The argument presented was based on the allegations made against him. We wish Mr. Forde all the best and hope he will be able to pick up the pieces of his life.
