Mom says Richmond Public Schools is denying her son an education
Micah Davis couldn’t wait to start 8th grade at Binford Middle School this fall. The special needs student loves math and hates that he’s stuck home missing algebra.
His mother, Natalynne Hicks, said she was shocked when administrators told her the school didn’t have the staff to accommodate her 13-year-old son. Now, he’s just sitting at home.
“He’s not getting an education now,” Hicks said.
The mom says she spoke to Richmond school officials over the summer. She told 8News they were ready to have Micah back in the building.
“Micah has always been in-person,” Hicks said.
However, when Hicks tried to drop off Micah she said schools administrators changed their tune and told her they wouldn’t be able to accept him. Hicks recorded the encounter, during which a school official can be heard saying, “So we can’t support Micah. We can’t support him in the school building.”
