This case does not have many direct implications for school administrators. First, educators can take confidence that the legal system will stand up against school violence. At the same time, educators must recognize that when they deal with law enforcement authorities that courts around the country are quickly becoming accustomed to trying juveniles as adults. Educators are in a unique, and often unenviable, position to wield influence far beyond their place of employment.
Educators hold the preeminent position of serving as advocates for future generations.
As a result, educators have a responsibility to continue to pay attention to even those juvenile cases that do not deal directly with schools.
