A Franklin High School student and his parents filed a $4.7 million lawsuit against Portland Public Schools after the student partially amputated his finger while using a pattern router in shop class. The incident occurred in June 2022, shortly after the teacher provided a brief introduction on how to use the equipment. The lawsuit alleges the teacher then left the student unsupervised, leading to the router grabbing and severely injuring his finger.
