I was seriously injured by a student resulting in a permanent disability.

The worker’s comp system is incredibly flawed and I will never be made whole

Despite this, I continue to believe in FAPE and every student’s right to an education.

I was injured after a long career due to staff shortages—including lack of adequately trained staff and the district’s failure to document past incidences for students who cause severe injuries.

I am looking to hear the stories of other injured educators and your insights as to why your injury occurred. It seems to me that injuries are on the rise.
