A former teachers aide at Bean Elementary School is no longer employed after using her foot to react against a student’s “emotional outburst”, Lubbock Independent School District officials said.
The student, who has special needs, was not physically injured, according to LISD spokeswoman Nancy Sharp.
The incident reportedly happened Friday, Jan. 31, after school and was reported to the Lubbock Police Department Monday, Feb. 3, as an assault. It was unclear who notified the police.
