During a recent school board meeting, a parent raised serious concerns regarding the treatment of her son, Logan, who has cerebral palsy and is legally blind. The mother, identified as Miss Alexander, detailed multiple incidents where the school staff allegedly failed to address Logan's medical needs, particularly regarding his significant food allergies and basic care requirements.

Miss Alexander reported that Logan had experienced an anaphylactic shock after being assured by a staff member that the food provided was safe for him. She expressed frustration over the lack of communication from the school regarding this incident and others, stating that she had requested incident reports but had not received them. Furthermore, she highlighted the absence of a health plan for Logan, which she deemed critical given his medical conditions.

In addition to food allergy concerns, Miss Alexander noted that Logan had been denied assistance with toileting, which she described as a basic human right. She mentioned that despite his requests to go to the bathroom, he was refused help by both his aide and teacher, leading to distressing delays.

The parent urged the school board to ensure compliance with legal obligations to protect her son’s health and safety, emphasizing the need for appropriate accommodations for his disabilities. The meeting concluded without further public comments, and the board moved on to other agenda items, including a resolution to proclaim August as National Immunization Awareness Month.
