Hutto Independent School District Stop Manipulating School Records!
Hutto ISD claims that a child (a minor), was in "Intervention Tutorials" since the beginning of the school year in August, when there were no tutorials being conducted.
We have also seen evidence from instructors stating that these tutorials did not begin until February or March. And you are now attempting to use this falsified evidence to take the wrongfully accused to truancy court!

Why is this important?
This petition is directed at the administration in Hutto Independent School District. It is in regards to the retaliatory tactics being used to wrongfully accuse a family of participating in a child's truancy. These are false accusations based on the fact that the child was in attendance for the days in question.
Brandy Baker assured this family upon their request that the child would not participate in STAAR testing, or any STAAR related materials. Only to enroll him in "tutorials" directly related to STAAR testing. The child in question was also led to believe by the administration at Hutto High School, that he did not have to attend.
However he was counted absent 14 times continuously, and was marked as absent for 14 full days. While his attendance records show he was in all of his other classes for that day. The absent count at the bottom of the sheet clearly states "days unexcused".
In addition, after this family officially removed the children from school, the administration including but not limited to Roy Christian, at Farley Middle School continues to count that child as absent as well. These are obvious retaliatory measures being conducted by Hutto ISD in general.
Please stop the manipulation of these records and the false accusation of families involved. And we also ask that the Judge in the Truancy Court take this issue into consideration. This is unbelievable behavior from our children's educators and has forced parents to remove their children from school permanently, opting for home schooling.
Your honor we would like these manipulations investigated, and all parties involved to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Falsifying a state document in the State of Texas is a Third Degree Felony, and we expect nothing less than prosecution for these charges.
We also request that the families presented before you, with obvious records manipulations, be relieved of all charges and penalties as they stand falsely accused due to the records manipulation.
