this reminded me of a similar case from last year.
the student overheard another classmate … “Don’t come to school tomorrow” [so] she messaged several friends in a group chat
She wrote, “this is genuinely scaring the s–t out of me.” Another text followed that read, “lets see if i can tell my mom without crying.”
As the student told her mother, they received a phone call from the assistant principal. The parents of the student’s friends had called the school… an investigation was conducted… the boy had no access to a gun
The next day [she] was told she was being suspended for three days. She was also told that she would spend the remaining 73 days of the school year in an alternative school
The district “cannot treat a threat to a campus with anything less than the full weight of a police response and code of conduct consequences. It is not OK for students — intentionally or not — to cause a disruption to the educational environment of hundreds of their classmates by spreading rumors.”
and of course:
Black students only making up 12 percent of the student population in Lewisville, but almost one-third of students put into alternative schools in the last school year were Black. Of the 557 students sent to alternative schools in Lewisville, 245 were sent because of decisions by school administrators
