| When the records of many local school children turned up in a dumpster of a vacant school in West Virginia, it drew a lot of attention from those in the neighborhood. Many of the local kids had attended that school until very recently.
At least some of those records pertained to Debra Thomas. Indeed, her school problems were now open for her and for everyone else in the town to see. "They revealed I’m a lot dumber than I thought," Thomas told the Associated Press. Nevertheless, she was smart enough to recognize the possibility of a rewarding legal victory. Her lawyer said she plans to take the local school board to court over the incident. The records were discarded outside Minden Elementary School in Rock Lick, WV, by a local white water rafting company that bought the building. School officials refused to comment because of the pending court proceedings. |
