The boy injured is a the son of a friend of mine. I don't think they have resolved the legal issue yet.
The absence of the guards is said to be an internal fight between the haole and non-haole members of the guard staff. Great example of hiring the right guys for the job huh?
The administration at Keaau high is a laughing stock in the conversations of the actual teaching staff there. I had breakfast with one of those teachers just the other day and it was a big part of the discussion. Keaau high school needs shared governance instead of what it has.
It is all so sad.
The good news is that Vincent's face (the injured boy) is looking good. He talked with me and just says he is doing fine. However, dad indicated he is being kept home from school.
This is about the only incident that has occurred here since my arrival three years ago that makes me want to NOT be here. It just breaks my heart. If I had kids, they would be going to that school. I am not sure what my action would be but I seriously doubt I would be quiet about it whether pullig my child/children out of school or joining in a lawsuit or even petitioning for an administrative change.
I feel from my heart for the parents who have to deal with this.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
