[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Testimony at the school board meeting that there is no record of sexual assaults in the restrooms.  
This was called a lie by another witness.
There is record of a sexual assault.  Not sexual assaults plural.

OP here.

There are two assaults. One at one school the other after the boy was transferred he was convicted in a court of law. None of that is in dispute.

This investigates more the actions of LCPS. [/quote]

Sorry, my grammar got away from me there.

Assault 1 was in May. Assault 2 was in September. Different schools. [/quote]

The second one was not in a restroom.[/quote]

I never said it was. Why would you bring that up?[/quote]

Just being semantic, and pointing out a defense that the official did not lie at the school board meeting when he denied a record of assault in restrooms.[/quote]

The first assault did, in fact, happen in a restroom. Arguing semantics in this instance is ridiculous and wildly insensitive in any case. [/quote]

I'm saying I think the language was carefully chosen for the school board meeting.  Perhaps even with consultation from the LCPS counsel.[/quote]

I'm curious whether you read the report? No. See pages 6-8. The question at the June meeting asked was "do we have [sexual] assaults in our bathrooms or in our locker rooms, regularly?" The answer given was "To my knowledge, we don't have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms."

The Stone Bridge assault -- which did happen in a bathroom -- happened in May.

Now, if you want to be cute and say the word "sexual" wasn't explicitly before the word "assault," by all means go there. But the context was clear. And sexual assault is still assault. [/quote]
