Chris Edmunds Law Office has filed suit in federal court against the Jefferson Parish Public School System for abuse committed by two of its employees against a student. Our client, an eleven year old girl with autism, has been slapped by not one, but two teachers in the Jefferson Parish Public School System. One of these teachers slapped our client on multiple occasions. Worse yet, neither teacher was discharged—instead, Jefferson Parish simply transferred these employees to different schools, where they will inevitably be educating other children with disabilities.
Corporal punishment has no place in our schools. Chris Edmunds Law Office will bring those responsible to justice and demand that the school system take steps to prevent this from ever happening again. If you discriminate against children with disabilities, Chris Edmunds Law Office will hold you accountable. You can read the lawsuit here.
