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:

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....
