Talk about sweating it out.
After at least 24 students suffered heat-related injuries during last week’s botched evacuation due to a bomb threat, Frost Middle School Principal Joey Jones will “address any remaining concerns” Wednesday night at what promises to be a heated meeting with parents.
The evacuation debacle, first reported Tuesday by The Washington Examiner, left students sitting in near-90 degree sunshine for two hours, without water, instead of traversing across the school fields to Wootton High School, as called for in Frost’s evacuation plan.
School officials blamed the hot mess on the slow response of the bomb squad, and the scoundrel who called in the bomb hoax in the first place. Many parents, however, have placed a healthy dose of blame on school leadership, or the lack thereof.
The meeting will be held in the Frost Media Center at 7 p.m.
