NORWICH, Conn. _ Ryan Fish, the 23-year-old substitute teacher at Montville High School charged April 12 with orchestrating fights between students in his math classroom, pleaded not guilty Tuesday.
Fish requested a jury trial in his brief appearance in Superior Court. His case was continued to June 20.
Neither Fish nor his lawyer, Paul Chinigo, would comment.
Fish was fired on Oct. 10, 2017, after cellphone videos surfaced that showed him facilitating fights among some students. Three Montville administrators are facing charges of failing to report suspected child abuse.
