My first grade special needs daughter was sexually assaulted on a playground by a classmate while two TA's were present but not supervising in December 2021. Conveniently cameras were not operational due to construction, they felt it was unsafe for the cameras but safe enough for the kids. Did you know they have their own school Police Dept? They refused to accept responsibility for the case despite APD contacting them to let them know it was their jurisdiction. When they finally did accept the case they lied to me saying they would do what was best for the kids. They meant best for themselves. They swept it under the rug. The Chief had the nerve to tell me it was up to me if I wanted an investigation. The social worker for the school told me she would give us resources and then 3 months later apologized for never keeping the meeting. My daughter experienced horrendous mental anguish being kept in the same classroom as the boy who assaulted her because his rights were not to be violated educationally by being placed in another class. She was also forced to have to control her angry betrayed feelings towards the TA's that let it happen for the remainder of the year. I also received an anonymous out of state text message chiding me on my daughter's absences and told I would receive a letter regarding absences which never came and the number could not be substantiated as affiliated with DVISD and no information was ever provided to me by the Superintendent when I wrote to them about these issues past changes had taken place with Staff. I regret not filing a lawsuit and I think everyone should know what happened. It has been 3 years and my child never returned there after that school year but it is not erased and I don't have confidence that DVISD dealt with it appropriately because I didn't go public.
