Box transcripts reveal third teacher involved in misconduct case
Board chairman and trustee pressed Harrington about naming a third teacher amid a controversy over a behavior modification box used on Kirk Richardson. Two teachers Gayle Slagg and Sallie Ussher face loss of tenure for placing the 12-year-old with disabilities in the box during sessions. They described securing Kirk by pinning him and locking the door as part of the class routine. Public attention followed a request by Kirk's mother to halt use of the box. Kirk remained calm after time in the box, according to witnesses.
