Burleson ISD statement on drill team issue

* The original concern about the content of the MySpace page was brought to the attention of the drill team director and campus administration by students who were deeply concerned that the content was inappropriate and did not reflect positively on the Drill Team.

** Campus staff did not hack into or visit any personal MySpace site. They did act upon the information that was presented to them by students.

** The student and her parents were advised by district officials that the content of the sire was inappropriate. While there have been media reports and comments by some parties that the demerits were issued for a single word, that information is erroneous. All of the content in question was discussed with the parents

**District officials remain deeply concerned, just as out students are concerned, that some of the information posted on the site was inappropriate. It is our belief that the school organization and the community at large would support our concerns that this type of material does not positively reflect the values we wish to present.
