A source at the school confirmed Wednesday that Jacobson has resigned from her position. The move came after parents called for her to step down, saying, "[someone] who’s making fun of a child who’s neurodivergent is not someone you want coaching children.” Parents of Amundsen students received an email from Principal Kristi Eilers around 12:30 p.m.
