## Resource

A Seattle Public Schools special education teacher, Ibijoke Idowu, faces mounting allegations of physical harm toward students—including bruising from grabs and throwing a book—backed by witness accounts and an HR investigation. Despite findings released June 17, the district and union remain silent on her employment status, citing due process. One parent of a child with autism described a devastating shift in their son’s behavior, from thriving in school to suffering sleep issues and heightened touch sensitivity. The family has shared evidence with prosecutors, who are reviewing it, though no charges have been filed. Both district and union refuse to comment further, while the union reaffirms that any dues-paying employee can run for office.
