During a recent school board meeting, a parent expressed deep concerns about the treatment of her son at Battle Creek Public Schools. The mother, visibly nervous, shared that her son is a straight-A student but feels targeted due to past mistakes. She described an incident where a teacher made inappropriate comments and laughed with her son, which left him confused about the punishment he received.

The parent emphasized her commitment to advocating for her son, stating she would attend every board meeting to address what she believes is unfair treatment. She called for a thorough investigation into the actions of the school's staff, particularly mentioning a staff member named Miss Shabani. The mother argued that the school administration has only provided partial information to the board, leading to unjust consequences for students.

She expressed frustration over the lack of communication regarding her son's behavior issues, questioning why they had not been addressed earlier. The parent plans to return to the board meeting with her son to further discuss these issues.

Additionally, a representative for Dr. Ellie Johnson, who could not attend the meeting, assured the board that he would advocate for Dr. Johnson's position in his absence. The meeting highlighted the ongoing concerns of parents regarding school policies and the treatment of students.
