Nashville student expelled after reporting threat note, family still pushing

Parents and teachers gathered at Smith Springs Community Center to voice their concerns about Metro Nashville Public Schools.

One parent said a year after the Antioch High School shooting, his daughter was expelled after alerting officials to a note threatening another shooting.

"There was a threat, a note, and it looks better to the school to consider it handled than it does to consider it, 'We don't know who wrote that note' because there is a safety concern," the parent said. "I've said it and I'll say it. I'll keep saying it. And I don't care if my daughter's 50. If I'm still alive, I'll keep fighting this if I have to. Whoever wrote that note is still out there, whether they wrote it as a joke, which is probably highly likely, a poor joke, but whoever wrote it is still out there."

Metro Schools has said the student's expulsion was legitimate, following a failed appeal by the family.
