[quote=Anonymous]I'm a special ed para (CPI certified), and I've worked with eloping ES aged kids for several years. (This is the first year I haven't had an eloper in 5 years! DL for the win! or something...) I have yet to see an eloper that didn't have an IEP or 504.

I was in one K-2nd LFI class with 8 kids. 4 of them were regular elopers, and by "regular" I mean daily attempts, but usually within the school building. We normally had 2 or 3 staff with the kids at any one time - with staff frequently occupied in the bathroom with diapering. Do the math! We were not allowed to lock or block the door. We never had one leave the school property, but did have to redirect a couple times at the sidewalk by the street. We were instructed that if they got off campus, we [i]had [/i]to call the police for help.

Some kids need more help than we're staffed to give. I can all too easily see a kid slipping away, despite the best efforts of the school. That's the unfortunate reality.

What the police are alleged to have done in response is reprehensible.[/quote]
