It is people like you, who want to file lawsuits over every little thing, that has caused society to be where it is. These were HS kids who were safe and accounted for during a possible emergency in the school. If the school just let them all walk away and something happened to one of them then you would have been screaming "sue the school" as well. As for the not eating or having a drink for 4 hours, wow I'm suprised any of them survived. The school made the safe decision and if that put a parent or student out a little thats ok. I would be glad to wait a few minutes or hours for my son if it was to make sure he was safe.
