Families in the Salmon River Central School District are reeling after reports that disabled elementary students may have been placed in wooden “timeout” crates. The district has put three staff members on leave and reassigned the superintendent while state and tribal police investigate. Many in this largely Native American community say the allegations bring up painful memories of residential schools. The district insists the crates were never used, but parents say otherwise. This controversy has sparked outrage and deep concern about how vulnerable students are treated. How should schools handle discipline and support for all children? #Education #SalmonRiver #DisabilityRights
