Florida school accused of punishing special-needs students by putting them in box

Quote:
A Jacksonville school is accused of punishing special-needs students by putting them in a box made of drywall.

CBS Miami reports the parents of a child with cerebral palsy are suing the school district, claiming hundreds of students were abused in the classroom and on school buses.

The lawsuit says students knew it as “jail"

A 2012 photo from inside a Love Grove Elementary preschool classroom shows a piece of aged drywall.

The 37-page lawsuit claims it’s a piece of a “discipline box” -- and a then-3-year-old child with cerebral palsy was one of the students placed in it.
