Principal apologizes after teen's suspension
FORT WORTH, Texas — A high school principal has apologized to a teen suspended after he came to school with red, watery eyes.
Kyler Robertson's father had been fatally stabbed two days earlier, and his mother told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that she e-mailed teachers about the death.
But Tuesday, when Kyler arrived at Byron Nelson High School, officials said he smelled of marijuana, along with having the other symptoms. He was suspended three days and assigned to an alternative school.
Wednesday, a urine test showing no evidence of drugs, and administrators canceled the alternative education placement. The suspension was lifted the next day.
Principal Linda Parker apologized on Friday.
