A Seattle Public Schools instructional assistant has sued the district, alleging a music teacher physically assaulted his eleven-year-old son with ADHD at Emerson Elementary. The incident occurred when the boy chased another student into the teachers classroom, leading to a confrontation where the teacher allegedly pushed him, grabbed his neck, and tried to force him out. The boy responded by slapping the teacher. The father, a special education worker, claims his son has a five-oh-four plan and individualized education program for emotional regulation issues. The district suspended the boy initially but later overturned the decision, ruling the behavior stemmed from his disability and that the teacher escalated the situation. The teacher was also suspended but remains employed. The lawsuit accuses the district of negligence and poor training on de-escalation, seeking damages as the case proceeds to discovery battles in King County court.
