Q: Can you appeal a school Board's decision of a district transfer in Ms?
My child goes to the public school here in the It's state grade rank is F. They do not learn anything from the teachers bc the students are so out of control during class. My kids come home crying every day bc they're being bullied or harassed by other students, mainly racial slurs bc my kids are white. This has put a strain on their mental health and they haven't even had the opportunity to have any real friends due to the students picking on them so harshly. The school I want them to attend is 11 miles from us. Their state rank grade is an A and I feel my children would receive a better education and have the opportunity to fit in better at that school. I have filled out a waiver hardship of residency and turned into the school board but they denied it. I have spoke with other school and they said they would love to have my children attend their school. Is there anything else I can do?
