Partner Karin Portlock was interviewed by KTUL-TV about an amended complaint filed on April 10 in an ongoing federal lawsuit against Tulsa Public Schools. Gibson Dunn brought the case on behalf of the family of a special needs first-grade student who was assaulted in 2024 by a staff member who later pleaded guilty to felony child abuse. According to the amended complaint, the assault was one of several examples of school employees using improper force and violence against disabled students.
“What we’ve uncovered is that the mistreatment of special needs children in Tulsa Public Schools is endemic,” said Karin.
