Not wanting to create a scene, the father said he tried to leave the award on a table at the Golden Corral at the end of the lunch, but was approached by his son's teacher reminding him not to forget the trophy. He said the teacher acted as if she were trying to play the incident off like a funny joke.

Morikis declined to comment Monday on the employment status of any school personnel involved in the matter, nor would he identify the teacher involved.

The Times will be filing a freedom of information act request for the teacher's employment status Tuesday.

"An apology was extended on behalf of the district to the family, and disciplinary action was taken against personnel involved," Morikis said in a statement. "We acknowledge the potential impact that an experience like this could have on a child's mental well-being, self-esteem and overall level of comfortability in a learning environment going forward."

Castejon said it wasn't until he went home after the awards ceremony and shared what happened with his wife later that night that the reality of what had happened set in with him.
