The case went to court originally in 2007. This is from last year when the girl graduated from high school.
Read the cutline from this photo from 2008:
Lewis Mills High School, Burlington, CT: Graduating senior and Plaintiff Avery Doninger after shaking the hand of Principal and defendant Karissa Neihoff, who had just been suspended for two days because she discussed Doninger's personal information with a complete stranger on e-mail.Now, some might say maybe Karma is at work more so than Justice in Burlington, Conn's Regional School District #10. And yes, Neihoff should not be discussing information about a case and student outside of the school...
However, I think it seems that the School Board has WAY too much time on their hands, so they feel the need to regulate their students' AND TEACHERS' words over the Internet.
Perhaps the School District should make some cutbacks in the size of their Board ... or better yet, just stick to educating...
Absolutely unbelievable! The student gets suspended and loses her school privileges to run for student council because of her blog (courtesy of Sotomayor) YET the school’s principal goes on e-mail and discusses the student’s case...??????
