No Eanes mom, I am not referring to this lawsuit. I am referring to ” Texas Parent Also .” I believe the ADA lawsuit and the compliance it seeks is a just cause and wish you, or whoever filed the suit, the best of luck.

I’m not sure what Michelle thinks is a joke, but it’s not this lawsuit. What’s a joke is that our voters have consistently approved money for ADA compliance and apparently we still have a long way to go. I’d like to see an accounting for what was originally proposed in the bonds, what was spent, and the deficiencies we still need to correct, and how much that would cost. We just spent $450,000 on signs at the high school (no you didn’t read it in the Picayune–it might reflect negatively on the school)–why wasn’t that spent on some ADA items? I think most voters in this district would be comfortable supporting paying for ADA compliance instead of this legal battle. The resistance to legal compliance and the advice that our massively remodeled facilities are somehow still “grandfathered” is what I find to be a joke!

If you are having trouble with a school district you find the grievance policy in the district and you follow it. First the assistant principal, then the principal, then superintendent then school board. Not to individual members, go to the board meeting, sign in and speak. You keep complaining, especially about something like a bus driver running stop signs.

You should also report this to local law enforcement officers. City, County, DPS.

?? What law are you talking about ? Not sure where you’re going with your post. Funding issues ? We haven’t been discussing funding issues. Anyway, the district we are discussing has many issues not just transportation and bullying. I encourage any parent having problems with this district to make an OCR complaint.

It is the law- just fix it and move on. We have bigger funding issues to worry about.

In reply to Another Clarendon Parent says : Sorry to hear about your son being tripped on the bus. This type of bullying should be addressed appropriately by the school district. Unfortunately, you are dealing with a district that apparently meets parental advocacy with retaliation. Our child was also tripped on the bus by another student. We complained and nothing was done. I ended up making a complaint to the Office Of Civil Rights for other violations. I believe that OCR is currently investigating this school. I hope you will also make a complaint to OCR. We were also considered outsiders in this community. I bet the bus driver was the same driver our child had. Our child was very scared to ride the bus. We observed the driver speeding and driving through bar ditches. Our child was even more fearful of going to school. She would lock doors and close blinds anytime she saw a school bus and when she got home from school. I have been blogging about this school on Clarendon and Amarillo Topix and just recently on Clarendon Enterprise Facebook. If you would like to discuss this further you can email me at timtndm@aol.com.

Yes, TEA cites “local control”. I removed my student from Eanes ISD due to extreme problems with safety. Any good parent would have done the same.
