School of Black Utah student who died by suicide allowed bullying 'on any ground' to go unchecked, report finds
CNN
When Isabella "Izzy" Tichenor died by suicide in November, her mother alleged that the 10-year-old Black and autistic student at Foxboro Elementary in Farmington, Utah, had been bullied because of her race and disability.
Izzy's death sparked widespread outrage and renewed questions about the Davis School District's handling of bullying allegations.
In a newly released investigative report commissioned by the district, a three-person review team learned that Izzy was told by classmates and teachers that she smelled and needed to bathe, but found no "direct evidence" the girl had been bullied on the basis of her race or disability.
