Report to CPS Threatened (After Family Moves)

http://www.hslda.org/hs/state/ny/200704270.asp

After moving out of New York, a Home School Legal Defense Association
member family received a threatening letter from the Saugerties Central
School District demanding the quarterly reports for their children. The
letter went on to state that if the family did not submit these reports
within a week or two, the school would report the family to Child
Protective Services (CPS) for educational neglect.

Since the Brooks* family had already notified the school district that
they had moved out-of-state, they immediately contacted HSLDA for help.

HSLDA Staff Attorney Thomas Schmidt contacted the school district on
behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks. He informed the school officials that
threatening to report the family to CPS when they were no longer living
in the district was completely unwarranted. Schmidt pointed out that
Mrs. Brooks had sent a letter informing the district that they were
moving over a month and a half before.

Shortly after receiving our letter, the Saugerties Central School
District contacted us and apologized. The district claimed to have lost
the original letter but promptly corrected their files after hearing
from HSLDA.
