Bolingbrook High student sues over expulsion
Posted March 02, 2008 10:00 pm
A freshman has filed a lawsuit against Bolingbrook High School, saying he was expelled last month because he is Mexican-American.
School officials said Sunday they could not comment on the specifics of the case because the boy is a minor, but maintain he was treated fairly.
Fifteen-year-old Roger Coronado Jr. filed his complaint Saturday in U. S. District Court, listing Valley View Public School District and an unidentified Bolingbrook police officer among the defendants.
