The father and the principal
Published on April 11, 2008
Danny received a notice saying that he would no longer be allowed to attend his son’s school events because of his criminal history. Among the activities he would be missing out on included sports games, open houses, and parent-teacher conferences. He contacted the Center because he felt it unfair that he would have to miss out on all his son’s events just because he had make a few poor choices a decade earlier. The Center petitioned the school principal requesting school visitation rights and was able to reach an agreement that Danny would be able to attend large school events, thus allowing him to retain at least some connection to his son’s school activities.
