Deborah Bailey - Jacksonville, FL

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.
