Parents outraged over 'timeout boxes' at Salmon River schools

A photo of an 8-year-old autistic boy locked in a wooden 'timeout' box at Salmon River Central School has shaken the Fort Covington community. Many parents are now speaking out, saying their kids—especially those who are non-verbal or autistic—were also put in these boxes, sometimes for hours. The district has put several staff on leave and started removing the boxes, but families are demanding real answers and accountability. With most students being Native American, the trauma hits even deeper, echoing painful histories. How do we ensure every child is truly safe and respected at school? #Education #SalmonRiverSchools #SpecialEducation
