THEY DELETED MY FB REVIEW AND SO I WILL CONTINUE TO POST ON OTHER SITES! My son was suspended unfairly today. My son (African American) was accused of grabbing another student for taking something that he was playing with. Then I was told the boy (white) along with several other (white students) said he choked him until he threw up and the school sided with them. This is not the first incident where I've had to question the right & wrong of the school. None of this showed up on the school cameras! Those are VERY serious allegations! I'm very disappointed in this school. Close Quote
