So many lives were put at risk and any genuine attempt at intervention was further delayed, I just don't understand WHY?

If same child, banning him from the bus is not really addressing his being a threat at school and elsewhere.

If this is the same incident posted on Reddit and the same child, clearly something needs to be escalated. He is a danger and has not learned anything, if same child.

The Washington Post artilce, sorry, it is going to be behind a pay wall.

The administration of this entire school district needs to be fired. There is no way that this one school is this poorly run.

But who will replace them? Are you applying for the job?

F@@k off. After what these women did, everyone would be safer if the school burned to the ground.

Do a cross country search; and first off, put some rules in place for employees and students to follow and enforce them. Behavior and consequences were not priorities for these administrators.

Dr. Parrott needs to be charged with obstruction of justice. Read the section specifically on her. Unbelievable and criminal.

Apparently, it's a very poorly run school system.

It looks like Dr. LaQuiche Parrot still has a job.

This Dr Parrott lying repeatedly about having one of them and then claims oppsie it was in my house no my car no I can’t remember. Then continuing to lie lie lie lie. WTAF?

I hope the grand jury’s suggestion of an investigation into that person for obstruction of justice is followed through.

I hope so too. "LaQuiche Parrott, the director of elementary school leadership for the district, eventually returned one of the files, but the special grand jury said it was missing all of its disciplinary records, including documentation about the choking incident in kindergarten. The other file was never located. Parrott told the special grand jury that she could not recall how she got the file, according to the report. The special grand jury found Parrott’s testimony 'highly suspicious' and wrote she should be investigated for obstruction of justice. Parrott did not respond to a request for comment."

These utterly unqualified, inept, evil school administrators need to serve jail time and be blacklisted from ever working in education again.

The assistant principal was arrested today. She appears in court tomorrow.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why there was such concern about searching the kid's backpack. This is not going through someone's home searching for stuff. You're on school property--school staff have every right to go through your things at any time.

I've worked in a public school that had kids with behavioral/violent issues like this kid, but I always felt welcome to go through a child's things any time I ever felt it remotely needed.

This school and administration sound truly inept and dangerous. I'm so glad the AP was arrested.

From the report it seems the hang up was searching the child himself (his pockets). Although the assistant principal said no to searching the back pack, a few of the teachers went ahead and did it. But at that point the kid had already been asked if he had a gun in his backpack, to which he had said no, and then had taken it out of the back pack and put it in his hoodie pocket. I am not a teacher so I don't know what the rules are re searching a student. I would think that in this case where a weapon could be involved they could force it.

Mind blowing is an understatement. Horrific.
