"St. Paul schools spokeswoman Dayna Kennedy acknowledged Thursday that school officials handled the situation poorly, but said language had nothing to do with the incident."

Wonder why the school official issued a half-apology.

They apologized for not giving the kids a ride home even though they are outside the attendance area. BTW I assume they mean they are outside the range of the regular bus program, if they were not in the school district they shouldn't attend unless they pay tuition.

But I'll give a half take back on my comment. I guess the mother can complain they run a bus that far out for this language program, but not for regular students.
