FAC Letter to FL Department of Education
FAC has sent a letter to the Florida Department of Education on behalf of parents who are being denied access to their children’s school plays, parent-teacher conferences and graduations.
Depriving a child of their parent’s involvement in their upbringing unfairly punishes the child, not the ex-offender. Plus, there is no evidence that parents who are required to register are entering their child’s schools for anything nefarious or for any reason other than to be a parent to their children.
A copy of the letter can be seen here: DOE – Letter 11082019
If you have been denied access to your child’s school event, please let us know.

Thank you for putting in a letter to the Dept of education, I just got letters sent to my daughters school district about this situation, my daughters father is a registered citizen and they would not give me a reason why he was not allowed to attend her school event, so i contacted the school district and they said he was flagged by the raptor visitor management system so he is not to be on school grounds while children are present. So I asked them for the Florida statute that says that he is not allowed and i was told by the legal dept at the school district, that they do not know why. So now i’m waiting for either the school or my lawyer to inform me what they are going to do because obviously the school district has no idea what the laws are and need to be informed as to what they are, and that their raptor system is not in the Florida law that you can’t have a child’s parent be present for school functions, even on the raptor system manual it says that you can’t deny a parent access to their child. So therefore they need proper education what the law is……….
All Raptor does is flag whether or not someone’s on the registry. They are a private data contractor that is in no position to make a decision for the schools. Unbelievable.
