Assistant Principal Grabbing and Shoving My Kid
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
We had an issue on the bus that required the need for the Assistant Principal to step in.
I was informed by my 2 children along with several others that the Assistant Principal grabbed my son by the arm and shoved him towards the front of the bus.
I emailed the Principal and she said that she would begin an investigation and I will put in quotes what her response was
"What I will do on Monday is look into the incident you described involving Dr. Johnson and Jacob. It will take the format of an investigation where I speak with students and request the bus video for that time period. As with all investigations, the results have to be kept confidential as dictated by privacy laws so I won't be able to share with you the outcome".
I need to know what my rights are as a parent when it comes to this investigation. I want to be there to view the bus video. It would be so easy for her to just tell me that she didn't see anything on the video.
Can anyone offer any advice?

Alrighty.... I love reading these....
What EXACTLY was the incident on the bus that required intervention and what role did Jacob have in that incident?

There are always issues on this particular bus but yesterday morning when it took place the bus had arrived at the school. The bus driver would not let the students off the bus and called the Assistant Principal to come down, not sure exactly what for but my guess is because the students were misbehaving.
I was told when the Assistant Principal called me yesterday morning that my son was standing up on the bus (according to other students, he was sitting down) and that another student had called the bus driver an A-hole (using the actual word) and this boy and my son sit together, this boy also happens to be our next door neighbor as well as friends with my son. My son denied hearing this boy say the bad word.
I was then told my children along with other students that he yanked my son by the arm and escorted him off the bus and was put to stand on a wall with the other boy while getting a "talking to"

The problem is he put his hands on my kid which he had no right to do.
When I brought it up to the Principal she said she would initiat an investigation but that I would not find out the results of said investigation because of "privacy laws".
I want to view the video of the incident and I want to know the outcome, I don't want it just swept under the rug.

And what exactly is the Assistant Principals motivation for lying about whether or not your son was standing or sitting? What's he got out for your kid?
And your child did absolutely nothing in all this, did he? In fact, he was sitting there, reading a book, minding his own business, not saying a word.. right?
Oh, and you are not privy to the results of a personnel investigation and you have no right to see the video, unless you want to sue them and issue a subpeona. Do you have an extra $30,000 (minimum) sitting around?

It's a fallacy that the assistant principal cannot "put his hands on" a student. He cannot cause injury or abuse without consequences.
If you have any hope of viewing the bus video, you'll have to hire a lawyer.

Wow, rude much?
I never said my kid didn't do anything wrong, did I? Which is why I spoke to several other kids who witnessed the incident.
Sorry I ever found this site.
Peace out.
