Aeva Ramirez, Homeschool mom almost sent to jail

In Columbus, Ohio a Homeschool mom was almost sent to jail for six months due to miscommunication. The mother was sent a notice from the school district about the "end of the year assessment," which basically proves that your child have been thriving in their new educational environment. The mother did not know much about this, so she called up the school to find out more. The school told her that all she needed to do was to file the assessment and that there was no due date. The mother later received a notice telling her that the deadline was August 1, which she quickly submitted after the notice and the school excepted if with no problems. The mother was later summoned to court for "contributing to the delinquency" of a minor. Even though her child had scored in the 97th percentile on a standardized evaluation test. The HSLDA are pretty sure that the charges will be dropped as long as she can meet the agreements.


I think its ridiculous that the mother is going through so much trouble. There was some miscommunication on the schools part and now the mother is suffering for it. Her child scored a 97% on the standard testing and the paperwork was later submitted, so it's crazy that this mother is going to court for basically child neglect when there is apparent evidence that this is not true. I understand that the court must go through certain regulations but to drag this case out seems unnecessary.
