Helping Hands seeks action plan over student placement
The group accuses Kennedy Middle School of demanding records and prior actions from Helping Hands before admitting children. Education Superintendent Linda Eldridge is asked to prepare an action plan by July 17 for the 2004-2005 year, with meetings to review it. School officials say district policy will address the complaint and that investigations continue, as DSS and board members weigh disciplinary information and prior incidents.
