(Salem, OR) -- The Salem-Keizer School District is being sued by a special education instructional assistant who says she's being assaulted by students and the district is ignoring it. Lauren Eriksen says she's been bitten and suffered concussions as a result of the students she oversees. The School District says it can't comment on the case. Previously, Superintendent Andrea Castañeda said the district needs more funding to hire additional teachers. Oregon OSHA released a report saying more staff is needed at schools to care for students with extreme behavioral issues.
