Alabama school officials say they're devastated a student was left at the Nashville Zoo after a field trip.
Athens City Schools said in a statement Thursday that a parent of the student involved has requested the district “not to comment any more than necessary, and we want to honor that request.”
Nashville Zoo spokesperson Jim Bartoo said the child found a zoo employee at a restaurant in the early afternoon and said he thought he had been left behind. The zoo contacted the district, and the child’s parents picked up the child.According to an Athens school spokeswoman, school officials communicated regularly with the parents and the zoo until the family arrived back in Alabama.
