Q: A student at a public high school performed a lewd sexual act in class. Principal verified claim but nothing done.
The staff did not inform the principal. He had heard nothing about it until I contacted him. After speaking with students and staff he verified the claims and told me the child would be removed from the class. That did not happen. When I followed up he told me he never said that and that the child will remain in class. It was not until I spoke with the superintendent days later, who also had no knowledge of the incident,and voiced my displeasure and informed them of their obligation to report suspected incidents that they filed a report with the PD who also verified the claims. My child doesn't feel safe and I don't trust the administration at this school. I don't know what recourse I have. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
A: I would contact the members of your school board or any other elected officials in your town or city.
