Have any school board members spoken out about this?

They will likely be investigated and cleared to return but if a child elopes it’s an immediate CPS call on the staff/school. That’s likely what happened here. Clearly this is not the child’s LRE so hopefully another placement is found for her.

You’re using LRE incorrectly. I think what you’re trying to say is that she might need a MORE restrictive environment.

That is the same thing as saying this is not her appropriate LRE. Least restrictive environment applies to the environment with the least restrictions in which a child’s needs can be met. This is not it.
