Parent Says Student Was Intimidated by School Safety Officers, Asks Board to Remove Detention
Amanda Garner, identifying herself as the mother of Skyler Garner, addressed the board during the public‑comment period and said her daughter was singled out, intimidated and later disciplined over a parking incident on Skyler’s first day driving to school. Garner asked the board to review the case and remove the detention from her daughter’s record.

Garner described the sequence of events: she said her daughter was first yelled at by two school safety and security officers in the morning and told “your car won't be there when you get back,” which Garner’s husband overheard by phone. Skyler complied and went to class. Later she was pulled from class to meet with the principal and the dean, where according to Garner she was told where she could park; after that meeting Skyler was sent back to class and understood the matter was resolved.

Garner said hours later her daughter was removed from class again — this time during a quiz — and forced to move her car across campus, missing class time and left “shaken.” Garner said an assistant principal who had not been in the original meeting then assigned detention for refusing to follow directions and that Skyler told the assistant principal the discipline felt like retaliation. Garner said Skyler is an honor student with no prior disciplinary issues and asked the board to ensure rules are enforced consistently and without retaliation.

How the board responded

Board members listened and acknowledged the comment. No formal action or disciplinary reversal was recorded in the meeting minutes; the public‑comment segment ended after Garner’s request. Garner explicitly asked the board to review the situation and to remove the detention from her daughter’s record; the transcript does not show a board response beyond receiving the comment.

Ending

Garner concluded by requesting a review and removal of the detention and urging the board to ensure fair, consistent discipline across the district. The meeting moved on to scheduled presentations.
