A woman in North Carolina is suing a school district, alleging officials forced her children to switch schools while they experienced homelessness.
The suit from the mother, identified as K.L., claims Gaston County Schools; Lisa Phillips, state coordinator for Education of Homeless Children; and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction failed her children when the district forced the children to leave their original schools while already facing the trauma of homelessness.
The 17-page lawsuit filed on Jan. 26 states K.L. was evicted from her residence in September 2023 while her children were students at New Hope Elementary and Cramerton Middle School.
With two children and nowhere to go, the suit states the disabled veteran mother switched both children to car riders while searching for steady housing. While the family remained in the same city, they were not located in the same school zone following the eviction.
Yeah it’s great how you people take the care and time to listen and consider other people’s points, you’re so goddamn GOOD at listening and considering. Imagine how much I really care about what you think - and imagine that place I’m thinking of where you can stick your opinions.
Why do you use social media?
You sound like the exact kind of person who would blame homeless children for being innocently kicked out of school.
