I am a black Male educator and JROTC Instructor at a local school district. A disgruntled white parent and some white students have made multiple allegations against me that the school district and the local police has fully investigated and found them to be untrue. The district feels that the lead parent is detached from reality. Because they have caught her telling lies to them. This parent has dragged my name through the mud and gotten several other parents involved. Those parents met at the school recently and demanding my termination and informed the district that they're filing a police report and the parents threaten physical harm to me. The District asked me to go home on Admin leave on DEC 12th pending the outcome of the investigation. Ten days later the district met with me and their lawyer and informed me that I was not in any trouble with the district and that the investigation did not substantiate the parent's allegations but a final DHS segment still needed to be concluded. The district asked if there is nothing in the DHS investigation, do I want to return to school on 10 JAN, or remain on paid leave and use the balance of all me sick days for the remainder of the school year. Which meant that I would not be returning because they don't want the headache. What do I need to do in order to prosecute the parents who have meant to do unjust harm to me? I have copies of all the negative posts online that I came a cross.

A student, accompanied by their spouse, moved to New Jersey to start full-time at a university; as a result, paid out-of-state tuition based on New Jersey Admin Code 9A:5-1.1. However, the student was told by university staff during the admissions process that she could update them with her residency/domicile status after 12 months to switch to in-state tuition.
JA: Has the student talked to a NJ lawyer about this?
Customer: No
JA: What steps has the student taken so far?
Customer: Spoke to the office of the registrar to provide updated documents such as a 12-month lease agreement, New Jersey car registration, spousal full-time employment, domicile status via USCIS letters (because she is a permanent resident), and spousal voter registration. This was all in support of the student and their spouse establishing domicile in New Jersey.
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: The student is independent (tax status) and lives with their spouse who has taken up full-time employment in the metroplex. Moreover, provided evidence of a marriage certificate.

Hi. The university that I attend is currently trying to dismiss me from my program due to an incident that occurred. Back in September 2022, I was placed in the hospital on a section 12 due to being actively suicidal with a plan and for other mental health issues. While in the hospital recieving treatment I filled out a leave of absence form for the fall 2022 semester. At the time I was completing the form I was not in a good state of mind and I was extremely scared and anxious about needing time off from school. However, I did complete the form and included the name of a faculty member and said that I had talked with him when I had not yet. Then, for some reason that I still don't know, I falsified an email to him saing that I had tried to email him when again, I had not. Once I was discharged from the hospital we had a few mettings regarding the situation which is when the recommendation for dismissal happened. I did complete the appeal for this but the outcome did not change. During the time of the appeal, I was now dealing with a reaction to a medication that caused me to fall into a 2 week psychosis. During this state of psychosis I was so far from reality, I was extremely paranoid, could not recall events that had taken place the day before, and I was having severe auditory and visual hallucinations which caused me to do things that I know I would not have done if I were in reality. I did explain all of this to the school but they are still leaning towards dismissal. I have one final hearing next week so I wanted to figure out what kind of things I should be saying or focusing on, and what my rights are as a student and as a person with severe mental health issues.
JA: Because education law varies from place to place, can you tell me what state this is in?
Customer: Massachusetts
JA: Have you spoken to a local attorney or school administrator? What is your ideal outcome for this situation?
Customer: I have not been able to speak to a local attorney and I have spoken to the school administrators. My ideal outcome would be for me to be able to stay at the school to finish my last 3 classes.
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: That is pretty much everthing, thank you

The university stated that I needed 6 classes in order to complete my undergraduate degree but now that I have completed the 6 classes the university states that they made a mistake and actually I have to complete an additional 2 classes now in order to complete my degree so the question is because I planned on using my degree for employment and now I can't do I have a case for future loss of income and negligence that has cause me mental distress and anguish?

Hi I don't know if I could really do anything but I'm hoping to see what my options are. I have been attending a school in North Carolina for the last 7 months I am supposed to graduate in March. They announced last week that the school will be closing down and being sold. I still have 3 months of school left and they are not planning on opening the doors in January. I have been going to school for massage therapy the only School that will accept all my credits is in Charlotte North Carolina about 5 hours away from me. The director of the school was hoping to be able to keep the school open until March so that we can all graduate. However that doesn't look like it's going to be an option. I'm just trying to see if there is anything that can be done legally to have the school offer a teach out method preferably. If not what can be done about all the time that was wasted. It took a lot of effort for me to be able to go to school these last 7 months I managed going to school full time working 35 hours a week all while having a 6-year-old at home and a house to manage. I don't know that anything can be done but I truly feel wronged. I feel that someone should be held legally accountable for wasting not only my time efforts and money but also my classmates.
JA: Have you talked to a lawyer about this?
Customer: No
JA: What steps have you taken so far?
Customer: This is my first step

Does the high school or district have the right to suspend a student athlete based on him using profanity in a locker room after they won a game. A teammate put the profanity on his own social media without my son's consent or knowledge. And my son never names any one is the celebration banter he is just laughing and used a few profane words and they danced and laughed.
JA: Where is this occurring? I only ask because laws can vary by state.
Customer: Arizona
JA: Does your son have any court dates or documents relevant to this situation?

JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: There was a few community members that are from this city and know how the politics and racial issues work here in Tucson and wrote letters against the excessive suspension when Khalil who is my son: Khalil did not make the postKhalil did not label the postKhalil did not put the post out on social mediaKhalil was not aware of the postKhalil did not consent to his private moments being shared in a postIt was not Khalil's phone used to create this telecommunication violationYes he used profanity in a private locker room where the public is not privy

My son has been searched 5 times already this year. And of course they never find anything. It feels as though he is being targeted by the principal and other staff members. We don't know if this is some kind of racial profiling on their part. Because he is Filipino, many mistake him for Mexican. Or perhaps it's how he dresses. It is becoming increasingly frustrating for us to deal with this. Do we have any rights in this area, since it is a public middle school?
JA: Where is this occurring? I only ask because laws can vary by state.
Customer: WA state
JA: What steps has your son taken so far?
Customer: The last time this happened, he had a meeting with the principal. Even though they found nothing on him and had no proof of any wrong doing. He was punished anyway. Now his father and I have made an appointment to speak with the principal in person.
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: Not anything I can think of. We just want to know if we have any rights in this matter or does he just have to accept being targeted by them?
