Current Events ALERT for Parents:

The new discipline code raises many serious questions for parents:
1. If our child's teacher tells the Principal that our child has been caught "lying", being disruptive, etc., what recourse do parents have if this report is false?

2. Who will listen to parents who dispute a suspension?

3. who listens to parents who have information of teacher/Principal/Administrator abuse of our children?

4. who can stop a Principal from filling up our child's folder with false information about our children?

5. Who is accountable for a Principal who erases a video showing that he/she or a teacher abused a child?

6. How can parents protect their children when there is no accountability for misinformation?
