Some parents of Hutto ISD students are demanding answers from the district after their kids were questioned, finger printed and investigated on campus without their knowledge.
PUBLISHED 11:57 AM CDT Mar. 29, 2022HUTTO, Texas — Parents Toya Allen, Tomeka Powell and Melvin Powell are demanding answers from the Hutto Independent School District regarding its notification policy following what they call drastic and unusual disciplinary actions against their two daughters.
According to Allen and the Powells, the alleged incident happened back in January when their daughters had lunch with a group of friends at Hutto Middle School. A meal was purchased via DoorDash on another student’s cellphone. Weeks later, that same student claimed her phone was stolen and the lunch order was purchased without her consent.
Allen says she witnessed a recording which shows a group of kids eating lunch that was purchased on the same order. She also stated that a different student picked the order up from the office and delivered it to the school cafeteria. “The school district’s policy in Hutto to the best of my understanding is that the school will notify parents as soon as it’s practical to do so. In this case I believe the girls involved asked for their parents and were denied the opportunity to talk to their parents,” said Carter.
“In this case, Hutto ISD police spoke with parents of both students when they became suspects and after they were processed.
