While at first denying our request for an interview, Principal Janine Dallas agreed to talk by phone about why Mount was banned from the school.

"Mount was not following procedures that we have in place for the role of parent volunteers," Dallas said.

She declined to elaborate, and said it was not about the Facebook picture.

"It is not a personal attack on her and it has absolutely nothing to do with her Georgia license," Dallas said.

The principal claims Mount made some unspecific comments of a threatening nature toward a staff member. Dallas said she called the Board of Education Police which issued Mount the trespass warning.

IMHO, we have now heard Principal Dallas's side of the story. Just maybe the Vet/Gun was hyped by the social media, before hearing both sides of the story. With the Media's recent knee-jerk assumption on the many different active-shooter incidents, I'm not to surprise to see the Vet/permit media frenzy.
If the Principal and staff members can validate their statements, then Ms. Mount might have to more honest about the whole situation.
Granted the amazing amount of irrational policies from our Education System is staggering beyond belief. I would caution on blaming the "system" until both sides of the story are validated.
If Ms. Mount was violating or abusing the parent volunteer program, she should have been counseled and later removed from the program for future violations. If Ms. Mount refused to comply, there might have been some "heated" words from Ms. Mount, which might have been considered to be threatening to the Principal and staff members.
I haven't heard any statement(s) that the principal or BoE Police based their CT warning strictly on her Vet status or CC permit only from the social media. From reading the story, I gather that when the BoE Police asked about her Vet/CC permit, the Warning was already issued prior to the BoE Police questions. If that was the case, the Q&A session had no bearing on the outcome of the Warning being issued in the first place.
Nice first post. As an educator I can tell you some crazy stories about parent behavior. When parents believe they are "defending" their children, at times civility and common sense imitate Elvis and leave the building.
