I got a call from the HR manager of the school board. Saying "they have decided" that I can no longer be in the school or walk my daughter to her class.
I asked why I was not being allowed to, but other parents still were. He stated that "they are not in the same situation as you" I am unclear what that situation is other than someone's insecurities/feelings, that I can't help.
So the HR manager of the Board calls you and says that the Board has decided that you can no longer be in the school. Well that would take some formal action by the Board to implement. That means that at one of their meetings they would have had to discuss the issue (perhaps as a matter in closed session) then come out of closed session and placed their decision on the record and why they made that decision.
Obviously, they did not hear from you in their deliberations and you have no idea what this teacher told the Board.
So, I'm not going to preempt the attorney you will be seeing but I would be writing a letter to the BOE asking for the records of discussion and the action they took for starters. The BOE is subject to your state's sunshine law (open public meeting law) and they have to conduct their business in accordance of it.
A call from the HR manager has absolutely no authority here.
Thank you for your reply! I know NOTHING about school boards so I did not know that a meeting/deliberation would of had to happen, so again, thanks!!
Just curious, how do the kindergarten kids get to school when a parent does not walk them? Bus? Or is a five year old expected to walk themselves to school with no adult supervision?
You know that school boards do not have HR managers, right?
I would call their bluff and walk her to class anyway.
Yes I thought that this was a bit weird too. Also that even if this was an HR Manager (of the school board, of the teachers, whatever), making a call like this is in no HR Manager job description I've ever heard of. (And yes, I have heard of HR Managers overstepping their bounds, but never in any scenario even remotely resembling this one).
OP are you absolutely sure it was an HR Manager associated with the school or board that made this call?
(And to some of the others posting here, I don't think OP was told to stop walking her daughter to school - nobody can prohibit that, and certainly not a possibly-faux HR Manager, I think OP was told to stop walking her daughter to class - which I took to mean OP cannot go into the school with her daughter, she must leave her daughter at the school door.)
