**To Whom It May Concern:**
|
||||
|
||||
As a **retired social worker that graduated back in the early 80's**, I write to provide context about my son, **Jason Davis**, and his efforts to support his son Noah’s well-being amid documented educational and behavioral challenges.
|
||||
As a **retired social worker with 30+ years, which includes direct CPS experience during my career**, I provide context about my son, **Jason Davis**, and his efforts to support his son Noah amid documented educational and behavioral challenges.
|
||||
|
||||
### **1. Professional Perspective: Navigating Educational Instability**
|
||||
School records show Noah moved frequently between Texas and Colorado, a pattern I recognize from my career as **highly disruptive** to a child’s development. Despite this, Jason consistently:
|
||||
- **Facilitated seamless transitions** (e.g., ensuring Noah’s enrollment in new schools within days of moves, per withdrawal/entry records).
|
||||
- **Collaborated with educators** to address behavioral concerns (e.g., responding to teacher referrals in Colorado on [specific dates, if verifiable]).
|
||||
- **Advocated for support services**, including counseling (referenced in Colorado school notes).

School records show Noah moved frequently between Texas and Colorado - a pattern I recognize as **highly disruptive** to a child's development. Despite this, Jason consistently:
|
||||
- **Facilitated seamless transitions** (ensuring enrollment within days, per withdrawal/entry records)
|
||||
- **Collaborated with educators** on behavioral concerns (responding to teacher referrals in both states)
|
||||
- **Advocated for support services** (counseling referrals in Colorado school notes)
|
||||
|
||||
### **2. Personal Observations: A Father’s Commitment**
|
||||
The man I know is:
|
||||
- **Proactive**: He rearranged work schedules to accommodate Noah’s sudden moves.
|
||||
- **Patient**: Even when Noah faced disciplinary actions (e.g., tardies, ISS), Jason focused on **solutions, not punishment**.
|
||||
- **Resilient**: He never refused Noah’s returns, despite the logistical and emotional strain.
|
||||
### **2. Personal Observations: A Father's Commitment**
|
||||
The father I've witnessed:
|
||||
- **Proactive**: Rearranged work schedules (as IT supervisors can verify) to accommodate Noah's moves
|
||||
- **Patient**: Focused on **solutions, not punishment** when Noah faced disciplinary actions (tardies, ISS)
|
||||
- **Resilient**: Never refused Noah's returns despite logistical challenges
|
||||
|
||||
### **3. Context Without Excuses**
|
||||
I do not dispute the seriousness of the allegations. But as a professional, I ask you to consider:
|
||||
- The **cumulative stress** of managing a child with documented school struggles across state lines.
|
||||
- Jason’s **consistent engagement** with schools
|
||||
While not minimizing current allegations, I ask consideration of:
|
||||
- The **cumulative stress** of managing cross-state school struggles
|
||||
- Jason's **documented engagement** (school conference attendance, Texas records)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### **4. Closing Appeal**
|
||||
Jason’s life reflects a man who **meets challenges head-on**, not one defined by a single moment. I respectfully ask you to weigh his **history of responsible parenting** alongside this incident.
|
||||
Jason's history reflects **persistent efforts to parent responsibly** through challenging circumstances. I respectfully ask this context be weighed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Sincerely,**
|
||||
/s/ Kathy O'Keefe
