Bellevue SD recommends sending 10-year-old boy with autism out of state

Quote:
The parents of a 10-year-old boy with autism say the Bellevue School District says it can no longer teach their son and recommended he be taken out of their home and placed in a residential school. There aren't any residential schools for 10-year-olds in Washington, so the recommendation would send him out of state.

Ethan's parents say his education has been a constant struggle. He's been at several Bellevue elementary schools. They acknowledge he has behavior issues due to his disability. They say he was expelled last fall after he bit a paraeducator during a tantrum.

That's the King county school district which has private day schools for autistic and developmentally disabled kids. That story doesn't make any sense to me.
