CORSICANA, Texas — A Corsicana Independent School District staffer was injured while trying to avoid a chair that was thrown at them by a student, officials said.
The incident happened Tuesday at Collins Intermediate School, the same campus where an assistant principal was severely injured by a student earlier this school year.
In this latest incident, school district officials said a paraprofessional staffer needed medical attention after a student tried to throw a chair at them. The paraprofessional fell while trying to avoid the chair as it slid across the floor. The incident happened in a small classroom, according to officials.
Corsicana district police reviewed video footage of the incident and saw that the staffer was injured during their fall. They were treated by a campus nurse and then taken “by private vehicle for medical attention,” a district release said. More information about their injury was not released.
Officials said the incident was resolved quickly and the campus did not have to be placed on lockdown.
More information about the incident was not released.
In August, Collins assistant principal Candra Rogers had to be airlifted to a hospital after a “disruption in a classroom” with a student. Rogers, it was later revealed, was blinded in one eye by a student who threw a hanger at her. She said in a press conference that the hanger knocked her eye out of her socket, forcing her to have to be flown to a hospital for treatment.
Rogers in the press conference spoke out against classroom safety and “overly aggressive students” needing specific services to meet their needs.
