At this point in the semester our students would have already been suspended outside of school 700 days.

We are more concerned with getting the kids who needed help, not so much with the ethnicity of the students.

It's hard for high school students to get an organized party together. Those kind of things happen in college.

The more connections students make with teachers and administrators, the better environment a school will have.

The school had no knowledge that weapons would be drawn. We understand students' and parents' and the community's concerns about this particular search. We will work internally and with local law enforcement to be sure these issues are addressed.

We're going to have to figure out a way for students to go through school faster so more can come in.
