Mr. and Mrs. Knight a call regarding the notice as well as mailing the
notice directly to them.
According to Underwood, a students actions that
relates/connects to school, even if it is of school grounds, will result in
school discipline, if it is necessary. If this goes against students, this
could also be used for the students. Unlike the case, Sherrell v
Northern Community Corp., (p.175) where a student was expelled
because of misconduct of-campus, this case is in favor for Ray Knight.
Although Knight was out of school grounds when he got shot, the
school is responsible for the incident. Because the school suspended
him, he wasnt able to attend school that day to avoid that unfortunate
event. If the school had made sure that his parents got the notice, Mr.
and Mrs. Knight would have found a way to prevent their son from
missing school.
Although the Knight family has some things against the school
officials, there are some things that they have on the Knight family.
According to Underwood (2006), she says that academic freedom
allows teachers to determine the discipline of the child when
inappropriate behavior occurs. In this case, Ray Knight broke the rules
by having unexcused absences, which resulted in suspension. In order
for Ray Knight to avoid this suspension, he would have had to attend
school everyday or, have a legitimate reason for missing school.
Therefore, this could have been easily avoided.
