Climbing off the ledge

Well, our new school superintendent has some sense and doesn't want to go overboard with zero-tolerance discipline.

This is good news for the neighborhood.

Katy Superintendent Alton Frailey announced Wednesday night that a sixth grader will not have to attend four months in an alternative school for writing "I love Alex" on a gymnasium wall with a baby blue Sharpie.

Instead, the parents and the principal Rick Hull will discuss reasonable discipline options for the offense that will not include out of school suspension or placement in an alternative school, Frailey said.
