AUSTIN – A state lawmaker says at least two workers at the troubled Corpus Christi State School are on administrative leave after allegations of new fights among the facility's mentally disabled residents.
State Rep. Abel Herrero said Friday night there are "allegations of new, separate, additional fights that occurred within the last 48 hours" and that state officials are investigating. Herrero said he is unaware of any employees being fired.
Herrero says he does not know whether the residents were injured, or whether they were forced to fight by employees.
Earlier this month, six staffers were charged with injury to a disabled person over fights allegedly organized for the staff's entertainment. Videos of the fights were found on a cellphone earlier this month.
