Everyone's bent over backward in the Whitesboro school district,

We are very happy that the school board endorsed our efforts.

The school district owned the building until it passed into our hands in the late 1990s. This building is a third in a series of schools at this location. The first was a log school built in 1772. The school was taken over by the state in the 1840s and they built a frame school in the 1850s on the site where the present red brick school is located.

I told them my concerns of how Kyle walked out of the school unnoticed and how my friend came by and picked up my other two children (last week) when (my friend) was not on the list (of those authorized to do so). Too many times people are walking the hall with no visitor's badge on, and it could be anybody walking off the street.

I have never talked to him about not leaving school, but the school has. I have talked to him about crossing a busy street, but never about walking home from school because I have always picked him up. I have talked to him since, and he has a better understanding now.

There's a big misconception about what school nurses do. You have to handle everything from first aid injuries to chronic or acute mental health problems. In addition to the students, we're also responsible for 250 staff.
