CALDWELL, Idaho — Kerry Black pleaded not guilty to 11 counts of Injury to a Child according to court documents.

Black is a Special Education Teacher at Lincoln Elementary School in Caldwell accused of abusing her students. Court documents detail Black's abuse against her students as hitting, spanking, and forcefully turning their heads. The documents say several aides assigned to the classroom between January 17th and February 10th said they saw the abuse.

A classroom assistant reported Black to the school Principal, who contacted the School Resource Officer.
