– I submitted the opt out letter to the school on Monday.
– I received a generic response letter from the school on Wednesday telling me I couldn’t opt out.
– I then sent the STAAR follow-up refusal letter and by the end of the day today, I received a phone call from the principal informing me that she WOULD NOT present the assessment to my child the day of “testing” or any day after. ![🎉](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t8c/1/16/1f389.png)

She was very appreciative of the documentation I sent because I also sent copies of the emails from Julie Cole. The principal confirmed that she would submit a blank score for him and he would spend the day with second graders that are not subjected to STAAR. THANK YOU SO MUCH TxEdRights! Because of you, I feel kick ass!
I didn’t ask too many questions on here but instead, followed your step by step instructions and watched your videos! ![🙏🏼](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t7c/1/16/1f64f_1f3fc.png)

. My job is not done. I will be following up the day after testing to confirm my child’s score was submitted. Then we will do this every year, to which the principal already seemed to understand.
. You can do this parents! Don’t back down!
