NY Post: School district to dismiss two students for remote-learning from out-of-state

[Anonymous]

What if a child needs to “attend” DL by going to the office each day with a parent and the Parent’s office is outside the school boundary or even across a state line? You mean to tell me that if I live in Kansas City, MO, but work in Kansas and take my child with me across the state line each day, I should expect the school to disenroll my child? This Upstate NY school is going to regret this asinine decision.

Doing DL from another state doesn’t seem like an issue. We have students doing that not only from outside of the district but from outside the country. Staff too.

This isn't the same - your kids would be going home to sleep in their own beds.

That being said, this IS asinine. It's one of those cases where you *could* dismiss them, but shouldn't IMO.

It’s called equity. Obviously you haven’t been paying attention. Get with the program, dOOd.

The NY Post is a propaganda organ of the Murdoch family.

Its goal is to serve Republican billionaires' agenda. That includes spreading stories that paint public schools in a bad light. Like this one.

Don't read the NY Post. Don't link to it, don't let it use up your attention. It's all in bad faith.

In the email, the administrator says Emmette told the district in late August the family had planned to return to Auburn from their vacation in Missouri over Labor Day weekend, but due to a wedding at the end of September decided to remain in Missouri.

The administrator says in the email the district allowed the two boys, a second-grader and fourth-grader, to continue remote learning.

However, Emmette and his kids still haven’t returned, and mail sent to him was returned to the district, the email says. It also states that Emmette told the district he didn’t have a set date to return, and told them he was renting out his home when possible on AirBnB.

"Renting out your home is contrary to an intent to return to Auburn in the near future‚'’ Johnson says in the email Emmette shared with Syracuse.com | The Post-Standard.

This is the crux of it.

What if it were their primary source of income?

I hope this gets the school district terrible press and the image that they're making things more difficult for struggling families.

So many rules have been relaxed for schools, such as not providing adequate services and accommodations to students with special needs. Why would families be held to strict standards about residency when the schools are not held to all their standards?

I think the bigger question is who goes on vacation to Missouri?

I think that is the point. They went there because of family. Family that was willing to help with three young boys home for distance learning. And likely space was a part of the calculation too.

My kids's teacher has been teaching some from Rehoboth Beach because her parents have a house there. That doesn't bother me. Should it?

And it sounds like the dad was renting the house on AirBnB, not longterm. It's financially a really tough time for people right now. So now we're going to punish the guy for trying to keep his family solvent, for accepting the childcare help of his family? Auburn school district or whatever it's called, sucks.

If he's living in MO then he can enroll his kids there. People do this all the time.
