So bringing a taser only gets a suspension?[/quote]

The suspension piece is what speaks to the immediate safety of the school community and therefore was shared.  The email also references that APS policy is that any weapon or weapon-like object results in referral to the police (even though the police weren't immediately called, which is a whole separate issue).

Beyond that, whether and how they are getting him supports steps over into his privacy and is not a detail to be shared with everyone.  Doesn't mean it isn't happening.  It means that in the short term it's none of our business.  Send good thoughts to the kid.  Email the school, staff and SB to encourage them not to wait in future instances.  Kids who are troubled in 4th grade don't magically become healthy and well by the time they reach middle school.  We need to do better both at getting mental health resources to kids who need it, and in acting on school property to keep all kids safe, and in informing parents rather than hiding behind the veil of "privacy".
