Lewisville school officials will hire a “neutral third party” to review allegations about racial discrimination that arose after a 13-year-old girl who thought she overheard a threat was punished.
Asked who would be investigating and how much they would be paid, Lewisville ISD spokeswoman Amanda Brim said many details are yet to be determined. The probe will “fully investigate allegations of racial discrimination,” she noted.
Upshaw wrote that “it is important for me to address the claim that the situation was racially motivated.” But because of how the girl processed her fears — telling her friends in group messages instead of immediately reporting it to an adult at school or through the anonymous tip reporting system — the administration disciplined her. She was punished for making a false accusation about school safety.
