A lawsuit, police report?  For a 6th grader?  [/quote]

You do realize that some of the 6th graders are 15, 16 years old and larger than adults? [/quote]

That doesn’t mean you have a right to information about a minor student.  What exactly are you seeking to do with this information?  Schools are absolutely bound by certain privacy laws that prevent them from disclosing specifics about these incidents, including any disciplinary action.  You may not like that but that is the law.[/quote]

ACPS uses an overly broad interpretation of privacy laws to avoid providing parents sufficient information about risks to health and safety faced by their children in ACPS schools.  ACPS could share more than the nothing they generally share by not providing student identifying information about particular students.[/quote]

What do you want to know specifically if indeed another student punched a teacher?  Should the school be putting out a press release for such incidents?  You think other school districts actually do that?  You keep asking for more info but I’m not clear on what info you want.  They aren’t going to name a student or even disclose disciplinary or juvenile criminal action taken.[/quote]

No, I do not think there should be a public statement on this but if a parent ask for confirmation that a peer punched a teacher (no names of the student) that question should be answered.  Also, ACPS’s limited statements about the Minnie Howard fight this week (never mind what happened last year) is the better example.[/quote]

What you think and what the laws are are entirely different. You are ignorant. [/quote]

Yes, we understand that violent behavior is kept under wraps frequently.[/quote]
