A Washington state principal was placed on leave as authorities launched an investigation after an autistic student was allegedly locked out of his school on purpose.

Surveillance footage captured the 11-year-old boy wandering outside Springbrook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2018, for about 15 minutes. The video appears to show staff members refuse to let him in, with one teacher escorting him back outside when he tries to go in with a group of students after recess.
