Questions swirl about McKinley student's suspension
NOTE: Comments on this blog post have been closed. To continue commenting on the situation at McKinley High School, go to this post.
Buffalo Superintendent James A. Williams and McKinley High School Principal Crystal Barton continue to refuse to comment about the seven-week suspension of senior Jayvonna Kincannon, and the dismissal of volunteer girls basketball coach Michelle Stiles.
Williams, however, joined Barton at an assembly cum pep rally on Monday, in which he told students not to believe an article in Sunday's Buffalo News. He also called Barton "the best principal" in Buffalo.
In the meantime, the Board of Education voted on Tuesday to have a committee study some of the issues raised, such as suspension policies and the role of volunteer coaches, while stopping far short of calling for an investigation.
Are you satisfied with the responses of Williams, Barton and the Board of Education? If not, what do you think should be done?
