none of the staff from the DISTRICT or SELPA could explain to Ms. Franco.

For instance, on August 29, 2013, Ms. Franco received a Parent Notification

21
2013, Ms. Franco received notice from Ms. Markofski that J.V. had sustained

When Ms. Franco asked J.V. how he got hurt, J.V. sometimes

For instance, at J.V.s 2014 annual IEP, Ms. Franco presented a letter she had

from school, Ms. Krivan told Ms. Franco that J.V. had lost a tooth during the
school day. Ms. Franco was puzzled by this because J.V. did not have any
loose teeth. Ms. Krivan told her that Ms. Markofski had checked him and that
his mouth was still bleeding. Ms. Krivan gave Ms. Franco the tooth, which
10
11
was cracked.
50.
Later that day, after Ms. Franco left the school, Ms. Krivan called
12
and stated that she had forgotten to tell her that J.V. had to be restrained that
13
day. Ms. Franco asked for information regarding what had occurred, but Ms.
14
Krivan was unable to explain, stating that she was not present when it
15
occurred as she had been assisting another student at the time. She told Ms.
16
Franco that there would be an incident report placed in J.V.s backpack the

by telephone.

informed J.V. was restrained, Ms. Franco met with Ms. Krivan, a program
24
supervisor from AST, and a speech and language pathologist who worked for
25
Defendants. Prior to this meeting, Ms. Franco had assumed that J.V. was
26
restrained by his assigned behavior aide from AST. During this October 17
27
meeting, however, Defendants told her that J.V. had not been restrained by his
28
- 13 4831-4254-0584.v7
AST aide. When Ms. Franco asked who restrained him, she was told that
everything was written in the report, which she would receive shortly.
53.
On or about October 20, 2014, J.V. came home from school with
multiple bruises on his back along his rib cage. Ms. Franco texted pictures of
the injuries to the DISTRICT nurse. The nurse promised to follow up on the
injuries, however, no one at the school could explain how J.V. was injured.

she contacted Ms. Markofski to inform her that she had not documented that

she saw J.V. on October 2, 2014. Ms. Markofski stated she had not
20
documented it because J.V. did not come to her office, but instead she went to
21
his classroom. Upon Ms. Francos request, Ms. Markofski finally added it to
22
her records.

approximately 5:00 p.m., Ms. Brown received a call from Simons Principal,

Upon receipt of these reports, Ms. Brown went to the school to observe B.K.s
and was made to sit in the office. Shortly thereafter, she removed B.K. from
