A middle school student in Urbana suffered a serious injury after being knocked out of his wheelchair while being transferred to the bus, resulting in a neck fracture. The family claims there was no communication from the school district about the incident. This isn’t the first time the student has been injured at school, as he had previously been trampled in his walker. Despite the seriousness of the incident, no one from the district contacted the family, raising concerns about the school environment. The family worries about the lack of response and feels the student’s safety is compromised. The district responded, citing confidentiality laws, but emphasised student safety as a priority. The family expressed gratitude for community support and requested time and respect as they processed the situation.
