Anyone remember this post, about a school in Frankfort, Kansas, and a guidance counselor who dumped a female high school student alongside the highway and left her there? It happened in another Kansas public school to another fourteen year old! Band students at Eisenhower High school were on a field trip last week, and when the bus stopped at a gas station, a young man was left behind! The school did not bother to count the number of students aboard the bus when it left the gas station, and did not immediately take steps to retrieve their missing student, once it was discovered that he was not on the bus. He sat at the gas station with no money and no cell phone for over three hours.
Annette Singletary, director of "community relations" for Goddard Public Schools, did not feel that a missing child was a big enough problem for the child's parents or the general public to know what disciplinary measures had been taken to ensure that the two teachers responsible would never "lose" a child at school again, and was unwilling to broach the subject with the media.
Sadly, the message sent by this is that children are not important in Kansas, and Kansas public schools are very lax about safety and security.
