Principal allegedly lies on video of punished boy

A newly released video shows a CPS principal offering an allegedly fabricated story in order to explain why one of her students spent more than 30 minutes outside the school in frigid weather, according to the boy's family.

The boy "bust through us and went out the door," Fiske Elementary Principal Cynthia Miller told the boy's grandfather in the video, describing a scene in which the boy ran through five adults to reach an exit. It comes on the heels of a separate school surveillance video released five weeks ago showing Miller and a school counselor looking on as a security guard yanked and shoved the boy from the school.

Attorney Dan Herbert, who's representing the boy's family - which is suing CPS - released both videos of the March 26 situation.

The just-released video that shows Miller talking to the boy's grandfather was recorded on the body camera of a Chicago police officer called to the school by staff who - after the boy was allegedly forced out - reported him missing, according to Herbert. A second call to 911 by staff reported the boy was scratching, biting and kicking, he said.
