Texas District Sues to Prevent Release of Clock Details
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS IRVING, Texas — Feb 27, 2016, 9:59 AM ET
A suburban Dallas school district is suing the state of Texas to prevent the release of details of a federal investigation into the arrest of a student who brought a homemade clock to class that was seen as a possible bomb.
The Texas attorney general's office earlier this month ordered the Irving school district to provide a copy of the U.S. Department of Justice letter to The Dallas Morning News ( http://bit.ly/21z8H32 ).
Instead, the district on Thursday sued to prevent the release of the multi-page letter.
The district has been turning over sealed documents to comply with the investigation into the September arrest of 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed. A charge against him was later dropped.
The teen made the clock and brought it to class to show a teacher.
