Personal Narrative: Girls Prep

In addition, we used the 2015 Florida School Laws book and the Florida State Statutes to review the K-20 Education Code. The major topics of the summary paper were bullying, due process, and FERPA. To complete the summary, I read through many legal documents, such as the Duval County School Board Policy Manual Chapter 10, Duval County Code of Conduct, Fla. Stat. §1006, §1002, §1003, and the U. S. Constitution. According to the state statutes, every school district must have a student code of conduct that includes a bullying and harassment policy. This document provides the foundation for student expectations and responsibilities at school, school-related activities, and situations that affect school culture. The state statutes specify the responsibilities and obligations of teachers regarding supervision and discipline of students. Teachers must make all decisions in the best interest of students in academics and safety. Due process of law and equality are guaranteed in the Fourteenth Amendment and forbid the basic rights of life, liberty, and property from being unfairly taken away. Substantive due process refers to government guidelines and rules that deny students of their fundamental rights. Procedural due process is a way of making sure the school system provides fair and appropriate measures to

The lawsuit alleges that students were interviewed during the school day by school district board members, attorneys, or officials. The lawsuit claims that the interviewers of the students committed acts of racial profiling and racial intimidation. The interviews were conducted as a part of an investigation of Felarca. The plaintiffs are seeking class action status on the counts of violations of California’s

Rodriguez to tell me what is going on with her son. She informed me that he is being bullied by other students in his class and nothing is being done about it. I then turn to Andrew and ask him to explain to me what’s going on. He told me that when they’re in the gym and it’s time to pick a team member that he’s never gotten picked by the other students. He further advised that today while in the restroom today that he accidentally wet his pants while using the urinal and three of his classmates laughed at him. I then asked if he told his teacher(s) about the incident and he said, no. I asked him if he has told any adult inside the building about his situation and he said, no. I asked Andrew if he has ever seen me in the hallways or the cafeteria during lunch time and he said, no. Ms. Rodriguez advised at the beginning of the school year an incident happened and she spoke with the Principal, Mrs. Hinton. I

I’m reaching out to you as a concern parent in regards to incident that happen on 03/10/2017 Friday. My daughter Ahneya Barrett had an unfortunately altercation with another student and Mr. Alexander at Western Branch High school use unreasonable force with my daughter; moreover Mr. Alexander made the statement to my daughter, “That’s what you get” as she slid into the wall. I have related my concerns to Dr. Whitley and the administration staff; nevertheless can’t anyone address the issue about my

Jamie Nabozny was a victim of bullying all throughout middle and high school. He was physically and verbally abused on many occasions due to his sexual orientation/identifying as gay. Jamie felt trapped and hopeless after being relentlessly bullied day after day. During one of these incidents, students repeatedly kicked Jamie in the library and by doing so (transition), left him aggrieved, bruised and bleeding (sensory details) with little to no self-esteem. When he was found, he had several broken bones which required surgery to repair. Due to this incident and countless others, Nabozny’s parents decided to address the school board regarding the issue. (background info) However, when given

Evidence that proves my claim is in p169 “taunts me in homeroom…Today she spit on me…As I emerged from the cafeteria…shouted all kinds of threats…I got hit across the back with a tennis racquet.” All these hateful actions against her happened at school. Her experience was not worthwhile since, she experienced hateful acts every day knowing that she will be bullied day after day. Similarly, her mom was fired from her workplace because Melba went to Central High. This is shown in p206 where her administrator said, “If Melba were to withdraw from that school, we could talk about renewing your contract.” Her family was in trouble and financial issues because she went to Central High. Her experience was not worthwhile as she felt upset from her mom’s loss of her teaching position. This is shown in p205 as it states, “The loss of Mama’s teaching position upset had upset all the members of our

My son is in the 10th grade at South Kingstown High School. He is being singled out and bullied by his gym teacher. The teacher failed hm in PE because my son refused to change into shorts over 22 times.

After school one day in early 2011, 12 year old Riley Stratton took to Facebook to vent her frustrations stating that she hated a hall monitor at her school that she felt was being mean to her. Not only was the post published after school hours and not done on or with school property, but it was also published to Riley’s private Facebook page with access limited only to those in her friends list. Unfortunately for Riley, even with the increased security setting, a screenshot of her post was given to her principal at Minnewaska Area Middle School. Mr. Falk and other school officials deemed Riley’s behavior to be rude and discourteous and her post to be a form of bullying. As punishment, Riley was given detention and was also forced to write

I started middle school at Bethany Middle school, I had my two older cousins going to school with me. One is the same grade I am and the other is two years older. It was nice having them but we all hung out with different crowds and sometimes we would not agree on the same things so we would not always get along. My first day of middle school was not as bad as i thought it would have been due to the fact that the Bethany middle school was not big at all. My 6th grade year was tough for me when it came to school work, i was used to the work from Central Elementary school and the Bethany Schools were much more strict and left a lot of homework so it was a big change for me. I remember my English class was the hardest along with science but I

On March 1, 2016, I responded to T.C. Williams High School and spoke to Ms. Bailey as the School Resource Officers were not in school grounds.

Slander is a serious offense and I would hope that the school would not go on a reputation killing witch hunt based on speculation and without solid facts. It is my understanding that you received an email, from either a child or parent, making these claims. I'd like to know the facts that were presented to you that set this all in motion.

Well I’m not really sure how to start something like this. I wish I could write something as simple as “I love playing my didgeridoo so much I just couldn’t imagine my life without it!” But my only talent here is faking who I was all throughout high school and my important life altering interest is girls. I could make this a cute story: Once upon a time, there was a little high school sophomore girl who pretended not to be gay and her whole life came crashing down all around her. However, this isn’t a cute story. You see, I had a bright future in front of me freshman year; I had amazing grades, I was popular, I even had a super cute boyfriend that everyone was so jealous of. The summer going into sophomore year, something didn’t feel right. I’m not sure how
