I'm sure there are a lot of ramifications that will end up happening to the school for years to come. I would imagine most will be based off perception rather than reality. I just pray for the young man and thatthe school and community can move forward and somehow grow from this experience.

Naydley, Montgomery and Williams will be ruined forever over this but that will be small compensation for what this affected young man will suffer. In many ways this is just as bad as the Penn State deal. Had those 3 been more responsible this would never have happened.

All the 8 graders are decomitting from the Owls and headed to the Hurricanes. It is not going to stop hardship filings but it may shift them to another school

Is this like a free agent situation.

Therealtruth there are no more problems. But you can see why the haters are saying this because they win except in basketball of all things. The hardships are approved by the school board. The recruiting thing is funny, the facilities are old. The school is old.

 

stench continues

 If the family has the means (mostly transportation) to have their children attend a better school they do.   Howard and Brainerd are normally the lowest academic performing schools in the County.  I don't blame them, who wouldn't do the same.

I don't have a problem with someone switching schools to better themselves academically.  Makes me wonder how good the grades were of the boys charged with the crime.  Makes me wonder if a lot of the hardships just happen to be good athletes who could beef up the sports programs. 

 

Mostly, though, I just hope and pray that the victims will be okay both physically and emotionally.

If you have dozens leave and many or most would be doing well in the classroom, of course grades and scores will be lower at their former schools.

Exactly what I have thought. Makes you wonder.
