How many code violations is the principal awarded before you intervene? 
	Re: Principal Charles Stevens, Mechanicsville High School.
 – I’ve heard that Principal Stevens has been contacting former students to participate in “Amway” which is a Multi-Level Marketing scheme. I wonder where he’s getting their contact information. Could it be their student files? What business hours is he using to make these phone calls, if not during school operating hours? I would consider this an abuse of power, and potentially a conflict of interest if it were my employee. 

 Grayson Roberts was accused and punished of pulling a fire alarm based solely on here-say of other students. No explanation of any evidence or facts.  
         
Notification of the facts in writing was not presented. Only a letter stating there was a “review of the facts”. But there are no facts explained.  
	
Principal did not put in writing that the suspension can be appealed to the superintendent.   
        
  
Principal stated in the letter that it was “the other boy” who made contact with the fire alarm, not Grayson Roberts. 
          
Code of conduct suggests a leveled approach to punishment so that students’ first offense isn’t punished the same whether it’s his first, or his 10th offence (for example). Students shouldn’t receive a level 4 (like Grayson did) when the code suggests a level 2 when it is the students first time ever being in any sort of trouble. 
Grayson was kicked off the football team, had to serve 3 days ISS, 20 hours of community service, which meant he could not try out for the track team. All with NO EVIDENCE OR FACTS. Other parent’s have written to the principal speaking of Grayson’s great demeanor. He has never been in trouble at Mechanicsville High School before, maintains A’s and B’s and was a valuable member on his football team.
We’ve tried to work with Brian Maltby (did not help us to remove or reduce the punishment); I sent an email to ALL school board members in our county, who basically won’t get involved in disciplinary actions. 
We are begging that the community service hours be dropped (it’s too late for the ISS). And to please have it in writing that Grayson was not kicked off of the football team, and can resume extra-curricular activities. We also want this all removed from his record immediately. (Not after he completes high school).
This is more than fair since Grayson did not do this… and no one can present any evidence of why they think he did. We're desperate!
