Llano Independent School District is facing huge accusations from the mother of a Teen, who was reportedly bullied out of the School, and was even blocked from running cross country.
Kristan Farnham, who is the victim’s mother, has come out on Facebook publicly, even though she hates these dramas.
Just last year, Kristan Farnham’s daughter walked away from the softball at LISD due to the constant stress, bullying, and toxic environment, not because she was no longer interested in the sports, as it was pretty hard to survive there, especially for a teen.
This caused trauma for her kid; she was losing sleep, was angry most of the time, and was not happy anymore, no matter what Kristin did.
Too Many Unanswered Questions From Kristan
Savannah was also not a kid to easily quit, but it was time to say goodbye to the sports she loved, at least for now. The family even tried to contact the hierarchy of the School, but they were left unanswered.
The day she left her favorite sports, Coach Green apparently removed her from all athletics groups. Well, this was not just it; she even faced constant harassment and bullying, not just from the coaches and students, but also from the teachers of regular classes.
After finishing that academic year, Savannah and her parents decided to transfer to another school for her senior year.
She was not only interested in Sports, but also wanted to serve the nation by joining the Marines.
In the other School, she tried to focus on her mental/physical health and academic career more, which she lacked in LISD.
The new school reportedly offered her a chance to be their first-ever cross-country runner, which Savannah accepted without any hesitation. After getting the approval for running, including one from her old school, yes, LISD, she was excited to meet her old friends and compete together.
However, Coach Green was not convinced by the approach. “I legally can’t keep Savannah from running here, but it’s in your best interest if she finds another meet and doesn’t come to LISD,” said the Coach, accordingly to Savannah’s family.
The school is also sticking with the Policy “A student enrolled in a private school, including a homeschool, shall not be eligible for concurrent enrollment in the District nor for participation in curricular or extracurricular activities.” Another meeting regarding the situation is scheduled today.
Savannah’s mother is questioning not just policy but also Coach Green, who seems to be the primary individual restricting her presence, and who is just a teenager. Kristan also added;
“So now we’re changing district policy… for what? Because a teenage girl made a mature, healthy decision last year? Because she dared to put her mental health first? Because she still wants to run? When did this become so personal to you, Coach Green? Savannah has moved on. She’s thriving. It’s time you do the same.”
Hundreds of individuals have come in Support of the Poor mother and daughter, who are just trying to do something better, and most importantly, without hurting anyone.
Some of them are questioning the Coach, whereas some of them have blamed the school system and believe the athletes should come first, which is entirely valid.
