A Madison Democrat wants answers after a nonverbal student was allegedly given a can of dog food last month.
State Rep. Sheila Stubbs spoke to reporters last week after reports came out that a 15-year-old student with autism was fed wet dog food by a Madison East High School staff member.
The child’s mother, Debra Hawkes, explained her son was given the dog food on February 13th, but wasn’t informed about the situation until the following week.
Rep. Stubbs demanded answers from school leaders and the police.
The Madison school district said the accused staff member has been put on leave as they investigate.
