Three Bellport Middle School students have been suspended after a fellow student accused them of inappropriate contact.

The incident allegedly occurred Tuesday afternoon on school grounds. Due to the age of the alleged victim, the South Country School District would not provide details of the incident.

The alleged victim reported the case to police. The three suspended students could face further disciplinary action at school and were brought in for questioning by police.

Parents are very upset with the district, which they claim has failed to communicate with them. School administrators said they planned on sending a letter home with students Thursday, but decided to postpone it until Friday. Information is available on the school's Web site.
