School board president quits, saying he shoved student

ROCKFORD — The president of a northern Iowa school board has quit, saying he shoved a student.

Tim Trettin said Wednesday that he lost his temper a few weeks ago and shoved the student in the school’s weight room. Trettin says he thought the student had cursed at him.

The Rudd-Rockford-Marble Rock School District board accepted Trettin’s resignation at its Jan. 18 meeting. Trettin had served eight years on the board.

Rockford police and the Floyd County Attorney’s Office say no criminal charges are pending against Trettin.
