JACKSONVILLE, Florida (CNN Newsource/KRON) — The parents of a child with cerebral palsy are suing a Florida school district after they say school officials violated their child’s civil rights and abused students.
A picture of the jail was shown being used in one preschool, a box made out of drywall.
The lawsuit says the jail is used as a “discipline box” and that the school placed a 3-year-old child with cerebral palsy behind it.
The family is suing Duval Schools, claiming the district failed to properly train its special-needs teachers and staff.
The school district released a statement saying it could not comment on pending or anticipated litigation.
