I'm sure the school district got legal opinions from their attorney(s) before giving this punishment. If the girl's parents were really pushy, they could have threatened a bunch of legal action if the district didn't do something. It's my guess the district was backed into the corner or simply set out to make an example of this kid.
It's hard to accurately define the appropriateness of the suspension because the district is bound by confidentiality laws that will restrict disclosure of this situation. |
