Why can a student not attend a nonschool activity at the school if they have been put into a alternative school? We have four students who admitted to some kind of drug activity who cannot attend a very good program on Monday night that might help them because they admitted to the drug activity. We have several other kids who were arrested for drugs but not indicted yet and are suspended from school but can attend this program called Seven Project that could make a huge impact on all of our kids here. What is wrong with this picture and how can the State Board of Education say this cannot happen to these four kids. So unfair. We say we want to help these kids yet we won't let them attend something even with their parents that could. This really upsets me if though I have no children in school and am not related to any of these kids. Something needs to be done!!! thank you. Nette Mammaro I have a concern here in Crosbyton.
