A judge has sentenced Kailua High School teacher David Izumi to 500 hours of community service for throwing a hammer that hit a student in the head. Izumi pleaded no contest to third degree assault.
The incident happened in April. Izumi said he lost his temper and that he did not mean to hurt the student.
The judge also fined him $2,000 and ordered Izumi to take anger management classes. If he stays out of trouble for one year he could have his record wiped clean.
The principal of Kailua High School has recommended that Izumi be fired. Izumi has been on paid leave and is appealing to the area superintendent to remain a teacher.
