The Floyd County School Board says the administration at Betsy Layne Elementary is looking into an alleged incident involving a staff member and is working with Kentucky
State Police to investigate.
WYMT reports it stems from some parents alleging that a teacher’s aide at Functional Mental Disability aggressively handled their children which caused some bruising.
The parents have praised the school for acting quickly and reviewing surveillance video to determine some of what happened.
A school official says the aide is no longer working in the building while the investigation continues.
