Superintendent Holliday, how can you find the nerve to say these rooms are a necessity, one that schools use with care?? What a stupid thing to say.
Parents all over the United States are protesting these horrible rooms that are only used only on special needs children. Would this room be ok for your child? Any person that works with special needs children SHOULD know that all behaviors are a form of communication so why would you toss a child into seclusion when they are trying to express their needs and wants? Why don't you get your staff some training on how to understand behaviors and what the child is trying to express. At least you aren't using a concrete seclusion room like some of the other schools use for the special needs population. How backwards and barbaric!
