School Emergency Policy: Leave Wheelchair-Bound Kids Behind

[docwebster]

WESTMINSTER, Md. -- When a Carroll County, Md., high school had an emergency evacuation, everyone got out except for two students who were confined to wheelchairs.

They were abandoned in the stairwell on the second floor.

I wish I knew what to say.

So now I have to wonder what their plan is if someone should oh... say... fall... and be rendered unable to move under their own power during an evacuation - leave the injured in the stairwell with the disabled...? Yeah, that's a good plan...
