VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) – The mother of the 11-year-old boy suspended from school after alerting his principal at St. John the Apostle School of another student bringing a bullet to class is filing a lawsuit against the school for breach of contract.
Boy suspended after reporting student with bullet at VB school
The lawsuit asks for the amount of $4,870 to be paid to the plaintiff to represent the tuition paid, as well as any attorney fees and any further relief.
According to court documents, the plaintiff’s son, known as ‘A.W.’ in the lawsuit, reported the incident to his principal Ms. Jennifer Davey just two hours after another student showed him the bullet on Sept. 5.
Shortly afterwards, Virginia Beach police arrived to the school, where the bullet was then confiscated from the student and he was subsequently suspended for 1.5 school days.
Despite reporting the incident, A.W. was also suspended from school through Sept. 6 for “failing to immediately report the bullet to school officials.” The lawsuit states that since this was an out-of-school suspension, it will remain on A.W.’s permanent academic record.
