Well he wrestled at Saydel on Saturday. What a ****ed up school systems.
Absolutely agree. The superintendent's name is Matt Patton and he's a gutless turd. His claim is that since it didn't happen on school property and he hasn't been "convicted" he can't suspend. Obviously the code of conduct policies at Roland Story are a catch me if you can mentality
Actually I don't see anyone making any jokes or humor about this. Every post before yours was informative in discussing what happened and showed no humor or joking of any manner. Did you see something I didn't?
Innocent until proven guilty wow what a thing we use to live by. That's the way it should be. This is America still. F cancel culture
How in the hell could I get caught off school property with alcohol and still code of conduct applied to me. That school system it a joke.
While he may or may not be what you are calling him, I can pretty much guarantee what he is saying is from the school district's attorney. There are plenty of situations where the case appears to be lock tight but certain factors will affect what the district can or can't do.
Because....it's a code of conduct? When was the last time you were in a school?
Maybe I misunderstood your post--I thought you were saying it SHOULDN'T apply. My bad if that's the case!
Innocent until proven guilty was something I grew up being taught. I haven't let society skew my thoughts. My eyes override my ears
That involves incarceration or a fine normally. An extra curricular activity isn’t the same thing. They can suspend him for violations according to school policies without a criminal trial .
I don’t know their policies but they’re in legal territory now there might be civil liabilities for the school.
Not sure how to post a screen shot of roland story's code of conduct but ya you're wrong.
I am guessing because you were caught and convicted. Either by paying a fine or whatever. There is no conviction in this instance, so we have to let the slow wheels of justice turn. Hopefully they will reach the correct decision.
No my code of conduct was enforced before I even plead guilty. The school enforced code of conduct with their own judgment.
Look in the OP, where it says “Last edited by a moderator”. There were probably subsequent posts that were deleted entirely.
Uhh - minor in possession of alcohol and rape are not the same. Plus, when a kid gets caught w/ alcohol they automatically lose 20-40% of the next sport they are participating in (at least in most districts).
This happens to be correct...unless it happened on school property or at a school-sponsored event in which case the school can act to protect other students or school property, usually with a temporary suspension pending an expulsion hearing.
I fought a kid immediately after school off school property. It was a widely attended event. I met the kid before school the next day. I told him that since we both lived near enough and walked to school, so we both walked home before we met up to fight.
So we conspired to lie. We were called into the principal's office that morning. We stuck to our story. We were guilty but evaded punishment.
Public school May 1981. But this happened in 1977. Back then the school considered students their responsibility until students were safely home. The responsibility wasn't limited to the school property. Similar responsibility was extended for official school events regardless of their location. I doubt this has changed and believe it likely the norm of most schools.
They probably can because it's not a right to participate in extra curricular activities.
You would be wrong. Schools can and do punish kids quite regularly without an admission of guilt or conviction.
Probably because you know it will be argued that way by a parent if somehow the school might be at fault in a different circumstance.
Absolutely correct. I have family members that are administrators and they can and do suspend especially when the evidence (and common sense) supports it. From what I understand there were multiple witnesses and a video. It's a disturbing situation
Back then I was thinking only about not getting suspended and the likely parental wrath that I thought likely to ensue.
Well, then I have no answer to your question. All I can say is times are definitely different now. Things that seems very simple and straightforward sure seem to get all muddied up and complicated these days.
Good conduct policies are applicable (I haven't heard of a district where this isn't the case) to any student, any location, any time of day.
