School strips students to search for 10 dollars
http://www.local6.com/news/4061915/deta
TEXAS CITY, Texas -- Some parents were up in arms Friday after 10 students were strip-searched for a missing $10 bill at an award-winning charter school in Texas.
The incident happened Thursday at Mainland Preparatory Academy near Texas City, The Galveston County Daily News reported.
This is outrageous. As far as I can tell this is a publicly funded charter school, I base this on this excerpt from their website:
The Texas Department of Health has issued an important update on immunization requirements for children and students. All public schools must be in compliance. The law requires that "students" be fully vaccinated against specified diseases. A student may be enrolled provisionally.. to remain enrolled, the student must completed the required subsequent doses in each vaccine series on schedule and as rapidly as is medically feasible and provide acceptable evidence of vaccination to the school. (From: http://www.mainlandprep.org/news/Vol6Is
If you support the concept of stripping down 11 year-olds over 10 dollars, then by all means do nothing. If you think this is despicable, contact the school.
