Duval County Public Schools wants to fire a special education elementary teacher who it says pinned a student against a wall while twisting his arm around his back and, later, locked him in a closet.
Deborah Bailey, a special education teacher at Chaffee Trail Elementary School , faces termination today when the School Board votes on the district's recommendation.
According to the district, on Nov. 18 Bailey pushed one of her special education students into a corner and trapped the student with a chair.
"You also held him on the floor while he screamed and cried for help and you twisted his arm," Superintendent Ed Pratt-Dannals wrote to Bailey in a Jan. 16 letter. "You subsequently locked the same student in a closet." It is unknown how long the student was in the closet.
