Opening Statement
In an ever more complicated world we hope to turn to the school for a fair hearing and an unbiased ruling. The allegations brought upon me are unfair and unjust and should not reflect how the school should treat my violations. I will have to bear the days that I lost to this suspension that could have been directed to more purposeful ends such as education that the school is supposed to uphold, and including my shattered expectations of the school in their ability to provide a role model for the future of this society and effectively and properly met out punishment. Not to mention the mental anguish that this event has caused me, and in addition I have to bear other consequences due to my absence that could negatively impact …show more content…

The first problem I encountered with the punishment handed down was the lack of clear communication and speedy delivery of such information on my charges. I was unsure of my violations and duration of my suspension which caused me to suffer undue distress. The school at the time did not give me a chance to thoroughly explain what occurred and fight the charges and allegations that were simply handed down without my knowledge. At that point I wasn’t even sure of the extent of my suspension or even the charges! This was absolutely unnecessary and the superintendent should consider the treatment that I have received a key issue in this hearing. Not only was I not informed of my charges or the punishment the school locked me in a room and confiscated my phone for over an hour in what could only be described as solitary …show more content…

Next, they claim that I conspired or assisted in a violation of a school rule, and this statement is an outright incorrect. I never conspired or more simply planned to disrupt or trigger a threat of violence nor did I assist my friend in doing so. They also allege that I helped him enter “unauthorized area” which is not true as I didn’t assist him in entering this supposed unauthorized area. I didn’t conspire to cause any of these charges and thus should not receive this unjust punishment.
e. The fourth and last claim they make is that I made “threats of violence”. This is also incorrect as again I didn’t make such claims and should not face these charges. Neither of us made a claim of violence to the school this is an incorrect charge as their was no threat of violence it was simply an accident on my friends behalf.
f. The interrogator for the notice was a Mrs. Eades she isolated me in a room without any representation and I was put under duress so her report should be considered invalid. She wrongfully quoted “’the LMC’” when I did not state this and she stated I knew when my friend pressed the “’PC Duress’” and “’Activate’” which again I never

The school board claimed that Ms. Cookson was originally dismissed due to her team’s participation in hazing activities, which was in clear violation of the school’s policies. When presented at the summary judgement it was found that the school had “articulated a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for declining to rehire Cookson” and provided sufficient evidence through parent complaints/ formal letters of disciplinary action (Kelly Jo Cookson v. Brewer School Department et al., p.4).In contrast, when reviewed by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court it was determined that sexual discrimination could have been a factor. The time of when the superintendent made his decision on Cookson’s dismissal and when he obtained the knowledge of her sexual orientation was a point of contention, therefore, it was deemed inappropriate for the case to be handled in a trial setting. Ultimately, Cookson withdrew her claim of sexual discrimination, however, it is unclear as to her

It was required that the student's parents be informed of the suspension within 24 hours with given reason. If the student were expelled, they would allowed to appeal to the Board of Education.

No, and Mr. Bourne can confirm that. The Defense bears the burden to prove that the off-campus production of this free speech video satisfies this prong. However, their evidence will not be conclusive.

This incident could have been foreseeable by the coaches, and possibly the administration, if the coach reported anything to the principal and athletic director.
