What happened to the life insurance lawsuit? Just wondering if the board settled to keep it off the front page?

The life insurance lawsuit is still going with no hearings scheduled at this time.

Stalling for Cummins to leave since it involves the place that his sister works for? You know, Neosho stuff.

We also need to bring up the lack of time that our children get for lunch. 20 minutes to get to the cafeteria, get through the line of a several kids to get your tray, to finally have about 5 minutes to eat. Unacceptable. My kids all come home hungry because they didn’t get to eat at all or just a little. Several other policies need to be change too. This crap that if my kid hits another student in self defense they too get suspended, ISS or OSS. Not one person would stand there and get hit without defending themselves in the real world. Why do we have different expectations for our children? Also, dress coding should never be a priority over the safety of the children. Dress code standards should be replace too because not everyone is the same size and some of the policies only affect certain people. Not to mention who you are and who you know plays into this as well.

My neighbors son is in high school and has been threatened by one of his classmates. He even showed me a video of the young man making threats with a handgun. The school has been informed and the police as well. Why hasn't either establishment taken any action towards the young man or the person that has allowed access to a handgun to a minor. If something bad happened, every single person on the school board would be responsible. And should do jail time for their negligence. I think every single parent should know how little the administration seems to care about the situation, especially since the amount of school shootings has increased over the years.

That comment about the threatened young man. If it doesn't show up on here, maybe I will go to other places and start posting.
