Video captured footage of the incident at Vista Del Sur Accelerated Academy.
A school administrator in Arizona is under fire after an incident involving an elementary school student."We need some change. I demand that you get somebody who cares up in here," said Danielle Jordan, the mother of the child reportedly involved in the incident, during a press conference on Thursday when she told her side of the story.
The district provided a different narrative Thursday, calling it an"improper restraint" when the administrator grabbed the boy's arm and shoulder. In a press release, they said the administrator was asked to come to the school to help with the student and while he was being escorted to the in-school detention room, the administrator thought the student was trying to leave campus. The governing board addressed the incident during their board meeting Thursday evening.
"What hurts is that you didn't take the time to call me; you didn't take the time to apologize," said Jordan.
