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.

    Split representation in the House (72-48 in the state and 7-7 at the federal level, R favor), a 5-2 split in their supreme court (R favor) and 2 republican US senators (30-20 state level in the Republicans favor) is the reason why. Stop voting Red and your state won’t be so shitty towards people

      The ones voting R are okay with this outcome as long as others get hurt. Even if innocents get hurt

        Until it affects them personally, then they become very sad.

        And then when their shortsighted policies affect them they blame “the government” as if it wasn’t the very people they elected that caused it.
