*Allegedly* No one even saw him with a weapon, it is just an allegation. But there are some good comments worth reading. Are the majority of the commentators correct?

The head of athletic programs for the Pearland Independent School District has been suspended from his duties over allegations that he brought a weapon onto district property, officials confirmed late Tuesday.
Pearland ISD Athletic Director Mike Watson was relieved with pay late last week pending an internal investigation by the school district's attorneys, said school board President Glenn Garrison.
“There hasn't been any decision on his employment status,“ Garrison said.
Garrison didn't know exactly when the weapon was allegedly brought onto district property other than saying it was apparently sometime during the summer or at the end of the last school year.
“If there is any truth to it, it is a great tragedy,“ said Pearland board member Suzy Roberts.
Pearland police officials, who provide security for the school district, also have been notified about the incident, Garrison said.
Garrison said the weapon apparently was brought into their administration building rather and not a school campus.
The district's investigation will be to determine whether any of their internal policies were violated, Garrison said.
He said their legal counsel is expected to present the internal report about the weapon allegation during a Sept. 3 meeting to the school board.

Firearms are prohibited on school grounds. The article mentions it occurred at the Admin. Building, not the campus. If he had a CCH, he just violated policy."
