A new lawsuit seeks nearly a half-million dollars from Portland Public Schools over the alleged incident.
A new lawsuit accuses Portland Public Schools of negligence after a student was allegedly pushed down a flight of stairs when the watchful eyes of teachers and staff were apparently looking elsewhere.
The six-page lawsuit filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court last month claims a student at Faubion Elementary School was pushed down a flight of stairs while unsupervised as he and other pupils were being released from class during school hours on June 5, 2019.
The suit doesn t say who pushed the seven-year-old, who is identified only by his initials, but alleges that administrators should have supervised the stairway.
