A notice of claim has been filed against the Central Islip Union
Free School District that alleges a 13-year-old middle school student was
bullied and discriminated against.

<a href="https://longisland.news12.com/notice-of-claim-filed-against-central-islip-school-district-alleging-bullying">The filing
claims the teen was told she couldn't attend a school trip </a>because she was
Black and begged her parents to let her stay home from Ralph Reed Middle School
due to severe bullying.

"I
don't think my daughter was ever safe at this school after the bullying
started," said Antoinette Moore-Thomas, the teen's mother. "She had
text messages on her phone that said they were
going to jump her. One of the girls even said they
were going to shoot her in the head. We printed out all these text messages,
took them to the school and nothing was done."

According
to the family, the teenager threatened to take her own life.

The family
also claims that an assistant principal told them their daughter was in an
improper relationship because she was dating a girl.

Antoinette
Moore-Thomas and her husband Gregory Thomas say they constantly spoke with
administrators at the school but were ignored.

"Do I
have to wait for my daughter to commit suicide for somebody to understand what
she's going through?" Gregory Thomas says.

The notice
of claim will likely become a lawsuit against the district seeking $2 million.

This is
the&nbsp;<a href="https://longisland.news12.com/family-files-2m-lawsuit-claiming-daughter-was-bullied-attacked-at-central-islip-high-school">third alleged bullying incident&nbsp;</a>in
the district in the past month.

The filing claims a 13-year-old middle school student was bullied and discriminated against.

LIFORECAST

Let's talk about the wet weather. Now, we're over here in the weather center with meteorologist Julian C right. Julian. I feel like it has been raining since we all woke up this morning and it really pretty much has, especially with the light drizzle. Now that we're starting to transition to the good news is that when we wake up tomorrow, Tama, it's not going to be rain. I know finally. Right. So getting into what we can expect for next or for the start of next week, Monday in itself, we are looking for drier conditions and sunshine. So we are into our last remnants of rain across the island and we saw quite a bit of it for today near an inch for many of us. About uh three quarters of an inch from the airport. Jefferson and much of Suffolk County and mainly for the eastern end of Nassau County. But others did see about a half of an inch of rainfall or at least near it. Now, the other issue we're gonna be watching for from tonight's going its small is some foggy conditions. So just note that visibility is gonna be on the lower end as we wait up for tomorrow, especially near Huntington. 44 degrees areas of fog going to be chilly and for our school day forecast we're gonna be seeing in our afternoon. We're looking at those fifties rolling in with early sun as well. A quick look at what we're gonna be seeing for our 10 day forecast. Just notes it is going to be colder after mild conditions for Monday and then we'll warm up for the weekend. All right, Julian.
