Mother asks Stamford board for answers after student suspension and limited communication
Summary
A mother told the Stamford Board of Education she was not given a formal suspension letter after her child was suspended in September 2024 and urged the board to help obtain documentation and a prompt, fair resolution.
Mona Patrice Deas told the Stamford Board of Education on April 29 that her West Hill High School freshman was suspended on Sept. 19, 2024, and that she never received a formal suspension letter explaining the reasons.
Deas said a video exists of the incident and witnesses have supported her daughter’s account. She said the school issued a summons and a court date and that, eight months later, she has received “very little communication” from the district about the case.
“I urge you board members to seek answers for me and my daughter, beginning with a copy of the formal suspension letter from last September,” Deas said.
The statement asked the board to pursue a prompt and fair resolution; the transcript record shows no immediate response from district officials during public comment. The matter concerns student discipline and communication practices; Deas requested that the board obtain and share the written suspension notice and clarify the investigation timeline.
