(Burleson, Tx) – The Fort Wort Star Telegram reports that a former Burleson ISD teacher and her classroom assistant have been arrested and accused of using improper restraints on students with special needs during a preschool developmental learning class.

Authorities arrested teacher Jeanna Mangus and paraprofessional Holly Monroe the day before Thanksgiving after an investigation by Burleson police.  The pair had previously been employed at Norwood Environmental Science Academy in Burleson, but the school district terminated Mangus and Monroe and called police after parents made an outcry.

Both women have since bonded out of the Johnson County Jail.
