FOR THE RECORD

Because of a reporter's error, a story in last week's Neighbors about punishment involving seven Craig County High School students who had been caughtdrinking at an athletic function, left an unclear picture of what took place at the meeting.

Parents of only one student asked that the punishment against that child be relaxed. Members of the School Board supported the principal in the punishment, which was not as extensive as the story indicated. The parents of only that student said they felt they should be involved in fixing punishment, but the principal said he was opposed to this, and the School Board supported the principal. The board did not discuss setting up a committee of school officials and parents to decide punishment in future cases, as had been reported.
