Off the Grid News – by Daniel Jennings
NEWARK, Ohio — A superintendent of schools was willing to bend state law in order to gather information about a homeschool family, the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSDLA) is alleging.
David Hile, the superintendent for the Licking Valley Local School District in Ohio, asked to see the detailed (subset) test results for an unidentified homeschool student in Newark, Ohio, who had scored well above the minimum requirement.
That is more information than is required by Ohio state law, HSDLA attorney Michael P. Donnelly pointed out in an email to Hale.
The student scored in the 30th percentile of a standardized test, and the state minimum is the 25thpercentile. Hile, though, thought the student’s score was too low.
Ohio law states: “Any child that has a composite score at or above the twenty-fifth percentile shall be deemed to be performing at a level of reasonable proficiency.”
“That information is all that is required by law,” Donnelly wrote.
Hile agreed to back off this time, although he made no promises about the future.
“It is my responsibility under the law,” Hile insisted in a letter to Donnelly, “… to ensure that children in my district are receiving an adequate education [and] I take that responsibility very seriously, whether those children are in our schools or homeschooled. I will continue to question parents as I see fit.”
Donnelly said Hile’s response means homeschoolers must remain vigilant.
“Hile’s response was an over-the-top and overbearing reaction to a simple point of clarification,” Donnelly said. “His attitude reflects an arrogance that implies homeschoolers are not up to the task of educating their children. The facts show that the reverse is true, and I will happily defend our members when they encounter problems with similar public school officials.”
He might as well have said: “I will go ahead and eat as many bullets as I see fit.”
This is typical of every aspiring tyrant. Give a schmuck a little power, it goes right to his head, and all of a sudden he’s the Hitler of education.
I’m just waiting to see him, and all idiots like him hanging from trees. It’s only a matter of time. People have had enough of this crap, and they’re running out of things to lose, and reasons to keep what they haven’t lost.
this happened in Germany before ww2 people were not allowed to be free. YOU ARE COMMUNIST AND HATE FREEDOM you try to come into anyone’s home you can be in serious trouble
“I will continue to question parents as I see fit.”
and parents dont owe you an explanation so suck on that tyrant , who the hell does this jacka## think he is.. I cant wait til he runs across a true patriot
yeah d^ck head? start coming to their doors and see how far that gets you
we dont answer the door unless you have an appointment
and yes it IS like that at my house , my house MY rules you can stand on the porch all dam day for all i care
What single document can you present that gives you “jurisdiction” over my self, my family, or my property?. Prove jurisdiction. Not even a judge can honesty prove any jurisdiction. The superintendent only has authority to run the school corporation. He has no authority over the children attending.
“David Hile, the superintendent for the Licking Valley Local School District in Ohio…”
Aptly named commie jewb#tch POS, at that.
