Not a lot of details. Anybody have the inside scoop?

A Covington principal and assistant principal were arrested Wednesday and are facing charges after they were accused of failing to comply with the state's mandatory reporting law.
The St. Tammany inmate roster shows that Tanya Barth and Lauryn Faciane were arrested and released on the same day. Their bonds were set at $5,000 each.
Barth and Faciane work at E.E. Lyon Elementary School in Covington, according to the school's website.
According to Covington police, both Barth and Faciane have been charged with failure to comply with Louisiana's mandatory reporting law.
The law requires school administrators to promptly report suspected abuse, neglect and other incidents involving children to authorities.

Im no private investigater but to me it sounds like they failed to report something, probably scared of angry parents coming after them if they acuse them of something serious!

That generally has something to do with abuse/suspected abuse.
Guessing maybe a student said something to them and they didn’t send it up or it was sent up to them and they sat on it.

Word on the street is a special needs student was roughed up by a teacher and they didnt report it.

Reading several places, sounds like failure to report.
I don't know the exact details and obviously you have to report abuse.
I would hope it would be something very egregious and cut and dry to charge them criminally.
Hell the justice system doesn't seem to be doing much to the abusers themselves these days

This might be a nothingburger, but if it's something serious, smiling in your mugshot might not have been the move to take.

With liability being the way it is today, on top of low pay, dealing with undisciplinable kids and parents who think their kids do no wrong, I don't understand why anybody would get involved in teaching.

Even in Covington, public schools are filled with trash.

I wouldn’t exactly call those smiles, the one on the left looks like she’s crying

Report something and parents get a light charge if any then they go after the people at the school.
Damned if you do and damned if you don't

Was a mandatory reporter who didn’t report something.
But there is no chance that only the principal and AP knew something. Teachers, guidance counselors, central office, all probably knew stuff… so when are they going to catch charges?
And was this abuse at school or not?
If this happened at school we appear to have a “sweep it under the rug” deal that blew up
If this happened outside of school, it would not surprise me if someone has a vendetta against these two.
How is this school? Covington can switch from nice to sketchy in a block.

Wife (no pics) got a masters in educational admin years ago and has all the certifications.
She would make an amazing principal or AP when it comes to leading a school
But the insane amount of BS from central office, parents, and increasing politicians that she would need to deal with has completely turned her off of bringing a principal.

Is crying better? It indicates a guilty conscience.

No clue what happened, but a lot of Facebook commenters seem to mention a whole host of problems with that school from the administration and dealing with kids.
I’m not the biggest fan of posting mugshots and headlines like is being done with little to no details, since their teaching careers are likely ruined no matter, even if they do end up being cleared of any wrongdoing, but I guess when kids are involved, you have to keep a lot of information confidential.

Need a better pic of Lauryn Faciane to determine if guilty or not
Posted on 5/28/26 at 1:25 pm to crap4brain
Those are two of the sweetest kindest people I’ve met (have family in the admin) and I really hope all of the facts come out with regards to the charges.

That’s what parents do these days. Their kid could be straight A’s, varsity athlete or cheerleader, and student of the year, and they will never pass up an opportunity to shite all over the school on social media.
