Is this just one student or 3 different students.

Based solely on what I've seen in the past, this will probably be three separate cases.

You hate to see situations like this occur in six-man schools, but it does occur. Thank goodness for DEC superintendents who do the right thing rather than be non-commital and afraid and thinking they are the bad guys for standing up for what is right.

I hope the link works. I watched some of the hearings during lunch. Two thoughts. The article is doing a good job of trying to cover details without writing a novel, so there is some context not included. The district suspending the coach seems to be the result of an incorrect answer on the PAPF. This is also seems to be the reason the SEC said the PAPF process at Lorenzo needed to be "cleaned up." My assumption, the SEC wants to see more checks and balances to prevent that scenario. I say "seems" please dont count it as for sure fact. I did not get to see it all and I could be misunderstanding.

Just an honest question Mike,. What is the difference in these violations, that occurred at Lorenzo compared to the Richland Springs violations?
