Parents of students in Littleton Public Schools want more answers from the school district after the recent arrest of a school bus aide. An incident was caught on video allegedly showing the suspect punching a 10-year-old student with autism. At least three students say they have been hurt by the aide being investigated.
The LPS board met on Thursday evening, and parents were expected to voice more concerns to school board members. Some parents are saying the school district has failed their children.
One parent CBS News Colorado spoke with is also a district employee with a special needs child. He said he wants more accountability, actions and answers from the district.
“Be more transparent. Listen to the parents. Know our concerns, and just communicate more,” said the parent, who wants to remain anonymous.
The parent is also close to the situation. He said he’s thankful for the transparency with his child’s teacher, and he feels safe having his child with them, but the incident still hits close to home.
