It very hard to convince me that the school district made that many mistakes.  It is easier to believe that they got caught doing something illegal and had to scramble to make excuses to try to convince the parents that it was all in error. The government has given the impression that it is ok to skip over the parent and do what they want with our children.  It has to stop. We have to open our eyes and pay attention to every detail of our children and their education both inside the classroom as well as at events outside.  We have to take an active role always. It is our duty as parents to protect and defend our children.
