Special needs student hit by car after walking off Bryant Elementary campus unaccompanied
The district said its 'thoughts' are with the family but did not elaborate on what improvements the incident might spur on its campuses.
A 6-year-old special needs student was hospitalized Friday after walking off the Bryant Elementary School campus unaccompanied and getting hit by a car.
Isabella Serrato, who has autism with limited speech, is supposed to have a designated teaching aide with her at all times, according to her family. But on Friday, Sept. 6, she was able to walk off campus alone due to the “school’s negligence,” the family said.
“We are thankful to god she is alive, but is banged up pretty badly,” Betty Baxter, Isabella's aunt, wrote on a GoFundMe page, which reached its $2,500 goal and is no longer accepting donations.
