“Anthony,” Tanner said when I climbed into his truck. “His name’s Anthony Perry.”

“Did you teach him?”

“Sort of,” Tanner replied.

“Sort of?”

“Two years ago I had a split position. I had two physical education classes and the other half of the day I worked ISS.”

“In-School Suspension.”

“Yeah.”

“And let me guess. This Anthony kid was in there?”

“All the time,” Tanner nodded. “He spent more time in in-school suspension and out-of-school suspension than he did in regular classes. Toward the end of the year, though, he quit showing up. I think he dropped out.”

“What grade was he in?”

“I think he was a freshman,” Tanner said, “but I’m not sure. We’re gonna take a look at his records when we get to the high school and see what we can find out.”

“What kind of records? Like his grades?”

“I think we’ll find some other stuff too.”

“Like what?”

“Well, once I remembered who he was, I got thinking about it. When kids get sent to ISS, all their regular school work gets sent down there for them to do – you know, whatever they were supposed to do in regular class they’d have to do in there with me, right?”

“Right.”

“Even if they had to take a test or something.”

“Uh-huh.”

“So I remember that whenever he had to take a test, his was always a read-aloud.”

“A what?” I asked.

“A read-aloud.”

“He had to read it out loud?”

“No,” Tanner explained. “I always had to read the test out loud to him.”

“Why?”

“Cause that’s what was in his IEP.”

“His what?” I asked.

“His Individualized Educational Plan. He was a special ed kid.”

“Like . . . he was mentally retarded or something?”

“No, kids can get IEPs and 504s for all sorts of things. Learning disabilities, ADHD, autism . . . whatever. I bet Amber’s got one.”

“What’s a 504?”

“I don’t know exactly,” Tanner said. “All I know is that kids with IEPs and 504s have files in the special ed office, and they have all sorts of information in them . . . like if you have to read the test aloud to the kid or if they get to be tested in a separate room or whatever they need.”

“And you have access to his file?”

“Well . . .” he hesitated as we pulled up into the parking lot of the school.

“Laci’s right,” I muttered. “We’re going to get arrested.”

Tanner turned off the engine.

“I can look at the files of any student I’m teaching.”

“But you’re not teaching him now?”

“No.”

“But you can get hold of his file?”

“I think so.”

I bit my lip and looked through the windshield at the darkened school.

“What d’ya think?” Tanner asked after a minute.

This is illegal.

“Oorah?” he asked.

“Yeah,” I finally nodded, reaching for the door handle. “Let’s do it.”
