[Always Right]

The student Elliot had been recommended for advanced placement courses in English, science and social studies for his freshman year at Warren Central High School. I am trying to figure out some mitigating circumstances that makes some sense, but my only conclusion is the principle is a complete buffoon. He even described Elliots as a "model student" in his expulsion recommendation. The principals rationale is that Elliot was aware of the policy and understood the consequences.

I just prefer to make my mind up when I've heard "the rest of the story" to borrow a phrase from Paul Harvey--not at first blush.

Meadows noted in his summary that "throughout the entire investigation and student due-process, Elliott (sic) was a model student."

This states that during this process he was a model student. That is somewhat different from what you posted.

He even described Elliots as a "model student" in his expulsion recommendation.

It's subtle, but sometimes the details matter down the road.

I hope the parents rise up and demand this "educator" be suspended... decisions like this are foolish and clearly point out that these so called "educators" are not capable of reasoned judgement.
A student at one of our high schools was suspended a while back because they found a table knife in the bed of his pickup truck that apparently had fallen out when they were using his truck to move household goods.
