BPS suspends Condon School staffers for strapping pre-K student to chair

The Boston Herald is reporting that BPS officials are investigating a troubling incident involving a preschool student at the Condon School strapped to a chair by at least one teacher and multiple staffers placed on leave during the process.

According to the article, duct tape and nylon straps were used to restrain a young student to a chair in the preschool classroom. Needless to say, BPS officials are deeply troubled by the incident.

“The safety and well-being of our students is our No. 1 priority,” Skipper said via statement. “This incident is deeply concerning and goes against our values and policies as a school district. We understand how difficult this has been for both our student and their family, and we will continue to work directly with them to provide all the support they need to feel safe and continue learning at BPS.”

The student is currently receiving support through the Office of Specialized Services.
