Documents I obtained reveal hundreds of cases where Fairfax County Schools students were restrained or secluded multiple times. Some students were as young as six years old. A single child was confined to a room almost 100 times in a school year.

Yet Fairfax County reported to the federal government for years that no students were physically restrained or kept in isolated spaces.

Hi There!

My name is Jenny Abamu, and I am the education reporter for WAMU, the local NPR station in the D.C. area.

I love stories that bring a contextual understanding to an event, and I try to do that same thing with my reporting. Take a look at a few stories I have here and tell me what you think! I love feedback!
