A parent reported in 2008 that Ettlinger kicked a student. In another case, a teacher’s assistant complained that Ettlinger told a child to eat a banana out of a trash can. In 2009, the president of the school’s parent-teacher organization said, she went to the principal after seeing Ettlinger frequently hug a student and allow her to sit on his lap during a field trip. In another instance, Ettlinger gave his personal phone number to students.

According to interviews with district administrators, there were no letters of reprimand or warning in Ettlinger’s file during his 12-year career in Newton schools.​
