Leslie Fossett raised her two sons in Frisco ISD. One in special ed, one not, but she said both of her boys were treated differently than white students. All of us have complained about one thing or another, district, policies how they ve handled one thing or the other with the students, said Fossett.
Fossett was not surprised by the data reviewed from TEA showing Black students makeup 11% of the student population but account for 35% of out-of-school suspensions. It s something talked about quite a bit at the school amongst African-American parents. When I read it, it was like, duh, said Fossett.
