Chris Stewart told NBC News. Stewart said the DeKalb County School District recently told McFadden's family that it will no longer insure the teacher involved in the incident. McFadden's injuries will require reconstructive surgeries to return his skin to normal, Stewart said. McFadden’s family must use their insurance to cover the cost of the teen’s surgeries. When it runs out, the district will cover "life-saving treatment," Stewart said. McFadden’s facial surgeries are considered cosmetic and will not be covered by the district's insurance, Stewart said. "The experiment calls for someone to coat a dollar bill in a solution that is half alcohol and half water, then set it on fire and allow it to burn until the flame goes out," according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The teacher performing the experiment wrote in a statement included in the report that she had successfully completed the demonstration in previous years and twice on Aug. 5. On Aug. 6, during her first-period chemistry class, the flame did not burn out completely, she wrote. She said she attempted to extinguish the flame with water, "but reached for the alcohol instead, by mistake." The report said the teacher violated district standards.
