[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] If y'all are going to be discussing this issue, I think it might be of help to provide some information. I'm a resident of Cypress-Fairbanks I.S.D. and live only ten short miles away from Allen Labay Middle School. CFISD instilled 10 years of education in me, so I feel compelled to make sure that the correct information is presented here. First, I'd like to say that the original story is inaccurate about the penalties for violations of dress code. This is taken directly from the CFISD Student Handbook and Code of Conduct: [QUOTE]Students who come to school in violation of the district and/or campus dress code will have the option of correcting the violation or being placed in DMC or in-school suspension for the remainder of the day. School officials may use other appropriate consequences as designated in the Code of Conduct. Parents may be asked to bring appropriate attire to school to assist in correcting the violation. Students who have a question about the appropriateness of an item should discuss the specific issue with the appropriate staff member before wearing the item.[/QUOTE] School administrators, by this, are given the option of assigning additional punishment for dress code violations within reason. Dress code violations are considered Level I offenses, of which the maximum penalty assigned to them is either one-day of DMC or up to 3 days of after-school detention. The article is inaccurate in saying that this was not in compliance with district guidelines. Next, we have the issue of why the assailants were not suspended. As per Texas law and CFISD policy, any and all students arrested for a crime or charged with a crime will be immediately suspended from school and reassigned to the Alternative Learning Center until such time as the issue is resolved. This article does not tell us if the students were arrested or charged. If they were, the school would be forced to act on it. If they were not, the school cannot legality seek disciplinary action against any student for an event not occuring during a school-sponsored activity or on school property. Third, the Harris County District Attorney is a man by the name of Chuck Rosenthal. He has proven himself to be very active in pursuing justice for all victims of any crimes in his tenure as DA and during his extensive time at the Assistant DA. Mr. Rosenthal is not one to let himself to let "popular opinion" stand in the way of following the word of law. If he did not follow through on this incident, I must conclude that there is something missing from the article. Now, for the conclusion of my post (you must all be thinking "thank god" by now). I do not think that the entire story is being reported here. I'm not denying that it didn't happen because I do not know for sure. I do know that this got no mention in any of the news stations or in the newspaper if it did happen, which is want the article says. However, from experience, if something like this had happened the local media would have been all over it. In late April, Cypress Creek High School was all over the local media for suspending a student from classes for wearing a shirt with the Confederate flag emblazzened on it. This particular incident is still undergoing review and investigation. If anyone here wants anymore information, drop me a private message. I don't like coming to the Flameboard too often (because some of you people really scare me in here), so I'm probably not going to be checking this thread (because some of you people really scare me in here!). :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
