Jimmy Hoffmeyer says he is thinking of putting his daughter in a private school after a librarian cut her hair at school.
Both incidents Jimmy Hoffmeyer said happened without his consent. Hoffmeyer also says that his daughter, Jurnee, did not ask that her hair be cut either time.
Hoffmeyer says the first incident happened on March 24. Jurnee came home from school with her hair cut on one side. Hoffmeyer says his daughter explained a little girl on the school bus had cut his child’s hair with scissors.
