Schools are Federal buildings in the US?
Therefore they come under the jurisdiction of Federal authorities. Just reporting the issue to the local SPCA will be sufficient, it can be done anonymously if afraid of retribution. All reports of animal cruelty are actioned whether reported to Animal Services or animal welfare charities such as SPCA
I have worked alongside both animal services attached to the local authorities and police and have worked alongside animal welfare charities in cases of animal abuse. They get anonymous reports all the time and they action it by a visit to check if the report is correct and if it is the individual is given guidance with a time limit to sort it out. The primary duty of these organisations is to educate those who are not caring for their pets properly, only if that fails then it will go towards court and a seizure order for not just the animal in question but all animals that are owned.
It's actually surprisingly commonplace that these checks on a minor animal issue can expose issues of the human kind such as poor living conditions and financial struggles where social care is then alerted and the individual is approached and their own welfare is dealt with alongside the animals.
I always suggest those people with doubts about reporting animal cruelty of any sort to go and volunteer for an animal welfare charity like the SPCA cos it is frightening to think that one badly treated animal...whether it be a fish or hamster or a dog or horse...can frequently open Pandora's box and expose a host of problems such as the owner struggling with their own life and living conditions on top of their animals living conditions
This teacher might look very smartly dressed and be highly intelligent and educated in their chosen field.....that doesn't mean that they have no issues at home or with themselves or are not coping with life and their animals as well as they appear to be superficially.
Reporting anonymously to animal welfare charities saves not just the animals but it can also lead to their human owners getting the help they need too
