Yes, the WB Polie did a very QUICK assessment of the situation, obtained the surveillance video immediately, and made a determination within 24 hours. Though they verbally gave me the pastor's name when interviewing me, they would not allow it to be shown on the police report.<BR/><BR/>2. The school district is not adopting the policy due to state mandate. They are including certain "wordage" because the DPI says they must, but it really is a law that applied to anti-discrimination, not anti-harassment. Furthermore, according to state law, the district has the freedom to write the policy any way they like. That means, if they wanted to include ALL STUDENTS in this policy, they could. This was confirmed by the DPI. They simply choose NOT TO, despite the outcry of a large number of district parents and students.West Bend Citizen Advocatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16674336754911157020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342364914875572105.post-78404205670903719352008-11-20T09:07:00.000-06:002008-11-20T09:07:00.000-06:00I guess it might just be me, but I can't help ...I guess it might just be me, but I can't help but notice that WB School District seems to be "ground zero" for complaints that turn out to be bogus - think of the teacher who posted inappropriate comments at Boots & Sabers last fall; the young lady who claimed racial harassment, and now this situation.<BR/><BR/>I understand that the school district is adopting this policy due to state mandate, but it seems like it will offer up another forum to file bogus complaints. More staff time to utilize to investigate, and "collateral" impact on the persons who have to defend their innocence.<BR/><BR/>I take it from your post that the WB Police Dept. did a good job of investigating and getting to the truth before it went too far?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
