MUSKOGEE

Even though the day did count as an unexcused absence as per state rules, teachers allowed student to makeup the missed work. My child, who plays on the JV team missed that day. I didn't quite understand what was going on. Had to find out second hand. I thought that the team was going to appeal the decision on that Friday and that it was a team event. I don't agree with the appeal. I think the protest by parents and students was handled wrong. The simple fact that the team skip school should be enough for the LHSAA to stand by their decision. It states in the LHSAA, that they don't want to interfere with the students learning environment. In other words school comes first. Yet the LHSAA rewarded the students of Zachary for the inappropriate behavior. It was quite sickening to see the parents come together and act like their kids did nothing wrong. I wish you could see the emails sent around.
