• Arizona East Valley Tribune
An East Valley eighth-grader was suspended this week after he turned in homework with a sketch that school officials said resembled a gun and posed a threat to his classmates.
Mrs. Karen Martin is the current principal of Payne Junior High School.
As such, she's ultimately responsible for the decision to suspend the 13 year old boy for drawing a picture of a perfectly legal object while in school.
The school's website is located at:
http://ww2.chandler.k12.az.us/payne-jrhigh/
And the school's snail mail address & telephone number is:
7655 S. Higley Rd.
Queen Creek, AZ 85242
Phone: (480) 224-2400
Perhaps Mrs.Martin and other school administrators would benefit from community letters or emails regarding the decision to suspend the boy for doodling a gun while in school....
