Frisco ISD subpoenaed for student names, records in connection to Karmelo Anthony case
The Frisco Independent School District has been subpoenaed to provide the names of students who were present during the deadly stabbing at a track meet at Kuykendall Stadium on April 2, a spokesperson confirmed with CBS News Texas. The subpoena is in connection to the case of The State of Texas vs Karmelo Anthony, the student accused of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf, another student at the track meet. The school district notified parents via letter on July 24, as identifying information of students is protected from release without parental consent under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) except when a school is required to release that information under a subpoena. It is not clear how many students were present at the track meet. Anthony, who is facing a first-degree murder charge, has been on house arrest since being released on a reduced bond on April 14. If convicted, Anthony could face a possible sentence of 5-99 years or life in prison. He was indicted for murder by a Collin County grand jury in June. A Collin County judge has set a trial date of June 1, 2026 for Anthony. Subject: Notice of Subpoena for Student Records Dear Parents of 2024-25 Memorial Track & Field Athletes, Pursuant to FERPA requirements found in 34 C.F.R. 99.31 (a)(9)(ii), the District is providing you with notice of a subpoena it received in Cause No. 296-83565-2025. Our records indicate that your student attended, or was scheduled to attend, the track meet at Kuykendall Stadium on April 2, 2025; therefore, a record responsive to the subpoena contains what would be considered your student's personally identifiable information per FERPA. The subpoena is requesting the following records: Please provide a list of all student-athletes from Memorial HS, including their full name, date of birth, address, parents' names and contact information, who attended a track meet at the Kuykendall stadium on 04/02/2025. If you seek protective action against the disclosure of this record, please email a copy of your motion and/or notice of hearing to me at [redacted], on or before July 29, 2025, so that I am aware of the status as to whether the record containing your/your student's information must be released. Otherwise, the District will have to comply with the subpoena pursuant to Texas Code of Criminal 24.06, and release the record on July 29th. Thank you for considering this request.

Families urge Maryland school not to bring back teacher acquitted of sex abuse
Several families launched a petition to urge a Maryland school district not to bring back Matthew Schlegal, a teacher who was acquitted of sex abuse in June. Schlegal was found not guilty on 18 counts of sex offenses, and three other charges were dismissed after a five-week trial. He was accused of sexually abusing eight of his students between 2022 and 2024 when he was a third-grade teacher at an Anne Arundel County elementary school. The parents of some of the alleged victims and child sex abuse advocates have continued to express their outrage after the trial, claiming Schlegal was wrongly acquitted. The petition, launched by the families through attorney Thiru Vignarajah, urges the school district to keep Schlegal out of the classroom. "Teaching is not a right—it is a responsibility and a privilege. We believe student safety must come first," the petition reads. After Schlegal was acquitted in June, the school district said it would work to finalize a review of his job status, as they are obligated to do under state law. According to Vignarajah, the school district said this week that it's still evaluating the employment decision. "The group is initiating a petition drive to ensure the public's voice is heard loud and clear: Individuals who betray our trust and exploit our children should never again teach in Anne Arundel County," Vignarajah said in a statement. Schlegel was released from custody shortly after the verdict, but is prohibited from contacting the alleged victims or their families, and cannot be unsupervised around minors. His attorneys said he suffered and would be in shock for some time.

Pine Grove Twp. man charged with burglarizing school property
A Pine Grove Twp. man faces burglary and criminal trespass charges after police say he stole various pieces of equipment, food and drinks from the Pine Grove Area School District in two drug-induced incidents. Pine Grove police charged Austin Hall, 28, on Wednesday after they found video surveillance footage of a man removing uniforms and other items from private band trailers and a concession stand on the school property earlier this year. Police said the man, later identified as Hall, was first spotted the morning of April 7 walking around the school grounds. Surveillance footage showed he had entered two band trailers in a fenced-off area around 3 a.m. that morning. He came out of the trailers wearing an approximately $795 band uniform, police said. After further investigation, police found Hall had also taken food, medical supplies, tools and a backpack before leaving the area. On June 23, school district officials notified police that Hall had returned to campus and broken into the concession stand at the football stadium. Footage showed the defendant driving a blue four-wheeler to the area late June 22. Around 12:30 a.m. that night, he was seen walking in front of the garage area at the stadium. He left and returned later, wearing a dress, police said. Hall changed his clothing several times and then climbed into the concession stand through a window, according to police. He was seen trying to cover the cameras inside the stand with duct tape; pictures from said cameras showed the defendant's appearance matched that of the person in the April 7 break-in, police said. Inside the concession stand, Hall took food, drinks and several other items, including medical supplies and towels, police said. He ultimately left the scene on his four-wheeler around 3:45 a.m., police said, but returned to campus near the elementary school later that morning and washed his vehicle with a hose. Police subsequently contacted the defendant. Hall told police that he was the person involved in both incidents and said he has a drug issue. He said when he does drugs, he blacks out and doesn't remember what he does, although he did have a good recollection of both incidents, according to police. Hall said he hid the items from the school district in a wooded area known as the 'Ghost Bridge,' but when he went back for them later, they were no longer there. Hall faces two felony counts each of burglary and criminal trespass, along with two misdemeanor counts each of theft and receiving stolen property. Solve the daily Crossword
