The fact that he was caught with marijuana in the beginning of the year is irrelevant to this incident. If there is a zero tolerance policy for ALL medications,supplements and the like, why the list of banned substances? Now onto the fact that the father is in law enforcement.... he was a cop before his child was even born... should they have used a crystal ball to decide whether or not to hire him? He is a good parent, a good cop and an honest man. You can discipline your children, teach them right from wrong and they will still make mistakes. It would be an interesting world if we lost our jobs because are children's behavior could be cause for dismissal.
Schadenfreude (German): is malicious pleasure taken from observing the misery of another.
Empathy: is often characterized as the ability to "put oneself into another's shoes", or to in some way experience the outlook or emotions of another being within oneself.
I have an idea for the cuts needed. Do away with all busing. These kids have parents... get them to school on your own. That's a perk that's not necessary. I voted yes on the levy... and still do not have a problem with no busing at all.
I'm literally sick to my stomach! I cannot begin to imagine the suffering these poor animals had to endure. I will write a letter and sign the petition. Sadly, there isn't a punishment harsh enough for this man.
So by your logic Ridge was "greedy" by offering open enrollment.... hmmm. I couldn't care less where anybody chooses to send their children to school.... my problem is with having to hear about your reasons for voting no when you DO NOT have a vested interest in the education of the children at Austintown. I also didn't say your children went to a charter school, I gave both scenarios. I did notice there are two renewal levies on the ballot for Ridge. I hope for your children's sake the voters in Ridge are committed to paying for a quality education. I'll be crossing my fingers for yours as well as mine.
When a child leaves the school district they live in to attend a charter school or another through open enrollment it costs the school they are leaving $5500.00 in state funding. While you may very well still be paying property taxes, I highly doubt they make up for the $5500.00 that followed your child. That's $5500.00 per child!
dmets... the owners of the rental properties have to pay property taxes.
metz87... she does not pay for her kids to attend school, they are enrolled under open enrollment. That school gets a nice chunk of change to teach her kids. She has no problem with the taxes that are used to pay for her children to attend school, it's just Austintown that is problematic for her.
Like I've said before.... live with the consequences and keep your complaints to yourself if you don't like the what happens after the levy fails, you asked for it.
dmets... regardless of where my children attend school I will always vote for school levies. That's the difference between you and I. I believe all children deserve a quality education. I disagree with uniforms... so what of it? Again with the talk about "the government".... no matter which government you want to provide more money, IT'S STILL OUR TAX DOLLARS!!! If the federal, state or local government starts footing the bill for education, guess what that means.... we will be paying more taxes. The downside of the state and federal scenarios are that it will get divided out across the state. The bigger cities will qualify for more. If it is our tax it is our money. Like I said, your opinion on the subject is pointless.... you do not have a vested interest in the educational system here. Austintown schools aren't good enough for yours so you simply don't care to pay for others to have what yours have.

For the record, the suspension was reversed and he is not going to be expelled.

And if they don't plow your street because cars are parked all over it you'd be complaining. God forbid the city be proactive.
