In June, Hancock said the school would not allow either of the Robinson children to return for the 2021-22 school year, according to another email included with the suit. In the same email, Hancock requested she find another school for one of her sons. In an April email to Kelly, included in the lawsuit, Hancock told her she had failed to follow the school's expectations for parents, engaging in "disrespectful and deflating" communications. The Robinsons declined to share the specific problems with the materials, saying the main problem was how the school responded to their concerns and shut out their children. In January and March of 2021, Kelly said, she submitted two bias reports through the school's reporting system regarding classwork that had "socioeconomic insensitivities." At that point, Kelly said Hancock disagreed and the dynamic changed. They had a series of calls discussing ideas, and Kelly said at one point, Hancock told her she should be on the payroll for all the work she put in. In November 2020, they said, they brought their concerns to USM staff, noting worksheets and projects that were offensive to people of color, people with disabilities, Indigenous people and other under-represented students.Īt first, the Robinsons said school administrators were interested in working with them to improve the curriculum.
