Rachel Opper should never be allowed back into a special education classroom.

According to the police report, she witnessed the alleged incident involving my son, yet the classroom video later contradicted the claim that he injured the paraprofessional. She repeatedly walked past while my autistic son was being physically restrained and isolated from his peers. She was also listed on ABC data documenting behaviors on dates and times my son wasn't even on campus.

She never informed me that behavioral threat assessments were being conducted on my child, never requested a parent-teacher conference, and the only communication I received was "rough day" with a sad face circled. Children with disabilities deserve teachers who protect them, not silence.
