Commonwealth v. Ms. C
School district alleges child in need of care and protection
Filed: September 20, 2000, Northampton.
Nature of Case: In late May of 2001, Ms. C notified the Worcester Public Schools of her intent to immediately begin home schooling her daughter. By letter dated September 21, 2001, the school psychologist informed Ms. C that a meeting was necessary to process the "application" for home schooling. However, the day before (9-20-01), a complaint was filed against Ms. C for failure to cause her daughter to attend school.
Status: On January 17, 2002, the judge dismissed the truancy charges because Ms. C had obtained full approval of her home school.
