Supporters of Amiir Horton, a former Smoky Hill HS student who was expelled following a school fight, are calling on the Cherry Creek School District to allow the teen to re-enroll in public school.
AURORA, Colo. — Supporters of Amiir Horton, a former Smoky Hill High School student who was expelled following a school fight, created a petition calling on the Cherry Creek School District to allow the teen to re-enroll in public school.
Younger said her surprise turned to confusion during Horton's first expulsion hearing when a rumor about her son having a knife surfaced in an expulsion report. “I think from the documents, they're making it seem like I'm such a bad kid and I fight just to fight and I do this just to do that. But like my mom said, in all the meetings we've had, all of the teachers that I've had, they've all said that I was a great kid. And I wasn’t purposely causing trouble,” Horton said.
In a statement, a Cherry Creek School District representative said Horton was granted early readmittance effective September 11. “So there's a pattern going on throughout the state that Cherry Creek expels kids to color, and then push them off into everybody else's district... my nephew became one of these statistics now. It's just truly, truly disheartening,” Caldwell said.
