DENVER — At least three students were placed in a"seclusion room" inside of McAuliffe International School during the 2022-2023 school year, Denver Public Schools said in a release Friday evening.
Yesterday, I received an additional email from the McAuliffe whistleblower and a portion of it stated “most students locked in this room had IEPs, and were quite literally dragged through the school screaming down the hallway and put in this room”.— Auon’tai M. Anderson August 4, 2023 In its release, the school district said it was notified on Wednesday of the inappropriate use of a"de-escalation room.
"Under no circumstances is “seclusion” a permissible intervention in DPS to support a student with needs of that type," the school district said in its release. Anderson said Thursday he and Board of Education Treasurer Scott Esserman went to MIS to investigate and discovered that"locks had also been placed on the windows of the room, that the vent in the room was destroyed."
