I want you to understand why after 5 years, I am still fighting so that no

other parent, regardless of the color of their skin would endure the pain,
humiliation, and discrimination that my family and I endured.
Schools residency laws in Pennsylvania Stat. (24 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 13-
1302) says that this particular violation is a Summary Offense.

What is a Summary Offense?

A summary offense is the most minor type of criminal offense in
Pennsylvania.

Many violations of the Motor Vehicle Code, such as speeding, illegal

parking and going through a red light, are summary offenses. However,
driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not a summary offense, it
is a misdemeanor, which is a more serious crime. A summary offense
usually results in a fine more information here https://clsphila.org/learn-

I ask you a question: how many people do you know who have committed
a summary offense? Or if we want to be more sincere, let's acknowledge
that we have all once committed a summary offense.
Do you believe you deserve to be subjected to mug shots, booking,
fingerprinting and all of the other protocols exclusively set aside

After more than one year in court litigations and over $60k in attorney’s
fees plus paying back $11k tuition as we always agreed to do from day one

my wife and reduced mine as a Summary Offense. Of which is already

The District board of education has the right to investigate a currently
enrolled student’s residency status or make periodic requests for current
validation of student’s eligibility status. If a student is already registered and
attending school, then no one person such as a superintendent or principal
can end a student enrollment in the district. Instead the superintendent or
principal must apply to the full board of education for removal of the
child, and the parental guardian or caregivers (in case of an Affidavit
student) is in then entitled to a hearing before the board of education.

The district must provide the parents write notice prior to the hearing.

The District must also wait 21 days from the board decision before
removing the child from school during that period time the parents or
guardian of the student dispute. Has the right to appeal the board of
education decision to the commissioner.

Anyone who can Read the police report and know our case can understand
that all of our rights were violated according to these district rules written
and imposed by themselves
Let’s fight together to protect our liberty and democracy.
When bright young minds can't have Access to quality education America
pays the price.
