[quote=Anonymous]The lawyers who couldn't figure out how to get their kids onto the school bus that stopped at the foot of their driveway so the kids would be on time?  Then took it to the court of public opinion?  The charges were dropped in June when they demonstrated that they could get their kids to school on time (only one tardy between March 2012 - June 2012).

"Lori Melcher, Loudoun County Public School’s attendance officer, told the court March 14 that the school had reached out numerous times to the Denicores for them to meet with school officials to address the tardy problems with their children, but they declined. Melcher said Mark Denicore told her that she was “misrepresenting the law” and that she “needed to get her act together” and wouldn’t meet with her.

Melcher said that between the 2010 and 2012 school years Sophie had been late a total of 655 minutes, Daisy was late 802 minutes and Tucker was late 297 minutes.

Melcher also mentioned that Amy Denicore was aware of a Jan. 17 meeting but refused to get out of her car when she dropped off her children.

“Amy Denicore wouldn’t meet with officials until LCPS sought council because they felt that “tardies are no big deal” and “it’s against the law for [Melcher] to question her childrens’ tardies,” Melcher said.

Melcher, as the acting attendance officer for Loudoun Valley, Woodgrove and Loudoun County high schools and their feeder schools,is responsible to enforce the state code that students should be in school for the same amount of hours and days each school year. "

Guess they decided not to risk it again.

"As a home-school mother of three, Amy supports the efforts of Changing Latitudes state-side, but looks forward to hands-on work, once the kids are old enough to participate.  In the meantime, Amy enjoys her children’s creative efforts to raise funds for school scholarships for Haitian children."

Oh boy.  I wonder if the kids will eventually learn that if you're late to your job you can lose it, or if their parents will sue their employer.
