NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) — A local mom is suing Metro Nashville Public Schools after she claims her mentally-disabled daughter was left unsupervised at school and had an accident that will leave her paralyzed for the rest of her life.

In the lawsuit filed in Davidson Co. on Friday, Virginia Dodson-Stephens asked for at least $300,000 in compensatory damages from the school district, as well as payment for past and future medical expenses stemming from her daughter’s accident last year. 

The lawsuit claims that on Feb. 23, 2018, Dodson-Stephens’ now-adult daughter, Courtlynn Dodson, and other students were left unsupervised in a classroom at W.A. Bass Learning Center when she jumped out of an unlocked, unsecured window on the second story of the school and fell to the ground below.
