DENVER — A Denver family is speaking out against Denver Public Schools, claiming the district didn’t do enough to protect their 12-year-old son, Tyler, after he was allegedly hit by a paraprofessional.
Jason said the principal showed him a picture of the mark Tyler had on his back. When he asked the principal what happened, she said a paraprofessional followed Tyler when he left his special needs classroom to see his therapist. “He got into the room at one point and just freaked out within a minute and wasn't ever able to testify about the incident that happened,” she said.
The Brainards learned in an email last week that the paraprofessional no longer works for the district. Denver7 asked DPS if they were fired or resigned, but the school district told Denver7 it couldn’t disclose that information. The Brainards said Tyler’s special needs teacher told them the paraprofessional resigned last week — one week before the start of the school year.
