WHERE IS THIS CHILD? DEAD OR ALIVE, WHERE??
Monday marked a benchmark in the Kyron Horman case: His name was removed from Skyline School's roster.
The change is part of Portland Public Schools policy on students absent for 10 days.
"It's a standard protocol for any student absent 10 days in a row," said Matt Shelby, spokesman for the district. "It's not something that the school or the district was looking forward to."
Although Kyron's name was removed, his presence was felt districtwide Monday. For the first time this school year, automated calls were made in Portland, alerting parents or guardians of absent students.
