It amazes me that people call the police for things like a stolen cookie worth all of $0.75. And a suspension? Come on, you're joking, right? Granted that story is one snapshot out of what could be a series of incidents so it's best to not be too quick to judge. Still, you'd hope LPS could exercise a little creativity here.
Then again, "creativity" in punishing this sort of offense would probably send a non-trivial proportion of parents straight to their lawyer. Better safe than sorry, I suppose. Ugh.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
The report does state that they have suspected him for some time of theft. Would you be okay with this same kid walking into Hy-Vee and stealing items from them instead? It’s the same thing. Whether it’s the school lunchroom or your local Hy-Vee, theft is theft. I don’t see why this one should be handled some how differently than a shoplifter.
