If they student is 18, “home school” is meaningless as there is no compulsory attendance law applicable. If LCS classifies a drop out as “homeschool” without the parent registering as home schooling the student, LCS is defrauding the public.

In reply to DavidB. It's a big deal because it was done intentionally for Financial Gain for the School AND, where there is ONE their is usually MORE and if there is more, there is a Big Problem.

In reply to News Maven. I have to wonder how many Deep State obama-loyalists in the Washington FBI and DOJ headquarters are anticipating (and hoping) Warren will become their new boss in 2020. Might these same Deep-Staters work hard to terminate any FBI investigations into Gillum to make Warren happy? We don't want to embarrass candidate Warren by doing anything to her running mate Gillum, do we?

I am not really sure I understand the point of this article, and why this discrepancy is such a big deal.

Rocky Hanna is liable for this situation. Parents should be outraged. Rocky showed us who he is when he did not pay child support for 10 years, now this tragedy. Malfeasance. School silent. School responds, hire a branding firm.

In reply to Alex. Rocky: if you're looking for something to brand, call your BFF Gwen. She's got all those cows down in Doral on that ag-exempted lot, amirite?

It is not uncommon for school districts to label students they have forced or pushed out (for whatever reason) as having ‘gone to homeschooling’ so the students are not recorded as drop outs and therefore do not affect the school’s standings. Every homeschool family has heard of the phone calls from upset parents who want to know where they now take their children for homeschooling after a school puts them out. As homeschoolers, we care about all students and find it difficult to accept what we call, “throwaways”. I’m so sorry this happened to another young person who probably just needed help finding their way.

I just hope nobody is smart to trace this problem to that 8000 pound elephant hiding quietly in the corner of the room.
Thats right folks finger point all you want but ultimately you will have to agree its the voters of Leon County to blaim.
If this had been a one off I would even call myself wrong for having the audacity to even say such a hurtful thing.
But its not a one off is it?
The voters of Leon County including Tallahassee keep electing these kind of people again and again and again…and again.

In reply to Mimi. Mimi, well said. At Godby and Rickards High Schools they have been placing students into advance placement US history so that students do not have to take the state U.S. History test instead they take the AP test. The scores do not count towards school grades or accountability. Rocky Hanna is well aware of the practice as is Chris Petley. This should be investigated by the state as their manipulating the system, in the end these schools are receiving school improvement dollars based on a highly suspect placement of students to manipulate data. Leon County Schools the brand is malpractice and malfeasance.
