The school board just scrapped the zero tolerance policy. This win belongs to every one of the 604 people who stood up for our kids. Watch the local board meetings closely to ensure they follow through on these new rules.

I know that could have EASILY happened to one of my kids. It's a shame that our school is acting so narrow mindedly. I hope this can get resolved. We NEED for our public school to be strong. A weak public school hurts all of us.(property values)
Students at THS are 15-18 yrs old, they are not adults yet! Zero tolerance shouldn't apply to kids this age...brain still in progress!!! They still leave their lunch sacks on the kitchen counter!!! Students need some leniency here...
For four years I have encouraged different tpsd personnel to adopt a tier system for first time offenders. The response has been a disappointing "this is how we've always done it". Update is desperately needed in this area.
I love our school.. but, this is crazy.. it was in his tacklebox.. an honest mistake.. a model student... come on.... this is taking our children's safety too far.. Don't ruin this child's life!!!!!!
I agree with discipline and student control, but common sense should play a major role in the application of such policies. A one size punishment for all is not the answer. If so we would all be in jail for parking violations. Let's be smart about how the punishment associates the situation.
Who care say if she allegedly broke the law. Its all a money racket and you cops, judges, and other members of the justice department know it. I can't wait for the day we American 's take our country back and abolish your services. Gonna be funny watching all you 300 pound fatties whom done nothing but polish the seat of a chair while your ass grew so wide you have to purchase two plane tickets work a real job for once.
I appreciate the rules, but please use common sense in each case. Don't ruin kid's lives because you do jot look at each case individually.

A person charged with a felony has a right to a trial. I think every child should be looked at on a case per case basis with a committee of some type to hear the circumstance and to rule fairly.
