At an elementary school in southwest Boise, Idaho, in the fall of 2020, children in pre-K went to their recess on the playground, laughing and climbing ladders to reach the slide. One 3-year-old boy sat on the sidelines. The loose woodchips prevented the boy, who uses a wheelchair, from joining his classmates.
