An 11-year-old student at St. John the Apostle School in Virginia Beach was suspended for two days after reporting another student for bringing a bullet to school, because he did not report it immediately. The boy waited until after a standardized test to maintain anonymity and avoid retaliation. The family and their attorney argue that this punishment discourages students from reporting safety issues in the future. Despite appeals from the family and their attorney, the school has refused to reduce the suspension. The school insists on immediate reporting of safety concerns, stating that their disciplinary practices are clearly defined and consistently applied. The family's attorney is considering taking the case to court if the suspension is not removed from the boy's record.
