Patrols Up after School Shooting Plot
Albuquerque, NM
Three students have been suspended after a possible plot to shoot up Hoover Middle School.
Officials held a press briefing Thursday morning and police say they are now stepping up patrols around the school.
APS says it came to light Wednesday morning when one of them tipped the principal of the school about it, complete with a diagram.
Six kids were involved but only three are APS students.
The district does not think the threat was credible because no weapons were found at their homes.

Barrington Middle School Students Suspended over Sex Abuse on Bus
Barrington, IL
Two students at a northwest suburban middle school have been suspended after the district investigated a series of alleged sexual abuse incidents that took place earlier this month on a school bus, Pioneer Press is reporting.
Tom Leonard, superintendant of Barrington School District 220, sent a letter to parents Tuesday notifying the community of the reported assaults, which officials said occurred over a four-day period from Oct. 1 to Oct. 4.
“The bus driver noticed some questionable activity going on in the back of the bus,” said Jeff Arnett, chief communications officer for District 220. “Almost at the same time, a student submitted a bullying report on behalf of the student on the bus.”
The report, Arnett said, prompted Prairie Middle School officials to examine surveillance videos taken on the bus.

Attempted ‘Lynching’ No Joke Say Parents of Black Boys in Arkansas School Incident
Wynne, AR
Two students were expelled and seven suspended from Wynne High School in Wynne, Ark., but parents of two Black boys, who were victims in what parents call an attempted lynching, are furious, saying justice has not been done and their fear for the safety of their children.
Cheryl Webster said all sorts of things went through her mind but she hadn’t imagined what she was told. Some boys tried to hang Mickey, her child, and his teammate, MaKye McDaniel, with a noose during football practice.
She is furious because of the assault, incensed that school officials waited three days to notify her, and outraged because they illegally questioned Mickey without her presence or knowledge, she told The Final Call. Oddly, before she even knew what was happening, the principal and assistant principal were profusely apologizing, she recalled.
She recounted her 14-year-old son’s ordeal: On Sept. 24, another student called him to the back of the weight room. One boy lifted him up while another tried to put a noose across his head and he had to fight them off, she said. “I don’t care if you’re White or Black. What happened to my son should never have happened,” Ms. Webster declared.

Granite City School Suspends Multiple Students over Twitter Comments
Granite City, MO
A sexually inappropriate tweet about a teacher started it, but by the time administrators at Granite City High scoured the recent social media activity of students, at least 10 were suspended, unleashing an explosion of criticism online.
School administrators said they had no choice but to act because students violated school rules.
But an official with the Illinois chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union said the school district and others throughout the country are commonly going too far when it comes to monitoring Internet activity outside of school.

Students Suspended after Seeing Nude Photo of Teacher on iPad
Anderson, IN
Four Anderson middle school students were punished this week after seeing a nude picture of their teacher on her school-issued iPad.
Josh Troutt, 13, was one of the students suspended from Highland Middle School.
He told Fox59 he and three friends received permission to use their teacher's iPad during class, but when they turned it on, they saw a revealing picture of their teacher.
"It just showed up of our teacher with a bra on, but most of her breast showing," explained Troutt. "I never thought of seeing my teacher like that."
Troutt’s friends told a school leader and they all got in trouble. One student got a warning, Troutt and another student were suspended and a fourth was expelled.
