When will school officials teach themselves common sense? Instead of a district wellness policy why don't these state sponsored health nazis stick to their jobs and teach children what they need to support themselves and their future families. Then, maybe then, these children can go on to help others without the need for a feel good government policy sledgehammer. Oh, and maybe teach government to stay the hell out of our lives.
School clears kids in contraband candy caper
School officials have decided to go light on an eighth-grader caught with contraband candy in New Haven, Connecticut.
Michael Sheridan originally was suspended and loss his class vice president post after buying a bag of candy.
Michael Sheridan, an eighth-grade honors student who was suspended for a day, barred from attending an honors dinner and stripped of his title as class vice president after he was caught with a bag of Skittles candy in school will get his student council post back, school officials said.
Superintendent Reginald Mayo said in a statement late Wednesday that he and principal Eleanor Turner met with student Michael's parents and that Turner decided to clear the boy's record and restore him to his student council post.
Michael was disciplined after he was caught buying a bag of Skittles from a classmate. The classmate's suspension also will be expunged, school officials said. The New Haven school system banned candy sales in 2003 as part of a districtwide school wellness policy, school spokeswoman Catherine Sullivan-DeCarlo said.
