The Jefferson Parish School Board and the family of a fourth-grader who was suspended for briefly moving a BB gun last year during an online class will take part in settlement talks in May to resolve a federal lawsuit.

He was suspended for six days, and the family filed a federal lawsuit in the Eastern District of Louisiana to expunge Ka’Mauri’s record and recover legal costs.
