There is definitely something convenient about what they're trying to find. It doesn't take much digging to find something interesting in a filing cabinet. Several files are actually in color, manila envelopes and organizer sleeves in yellows, reds, greens, and blues.
The records here aren't permanent records, they seem to be older records just left to rot in a random cabinet, as some school records are. The files are covered in dust.
They're dated back to October 2009. They detail several reports submitted to the school counselor, who filed a report to state social services for possible child neglect potentially happening to a Freshman high school student.
A second report notes his never being given a packed lunch, lunch money for school, or being signed up to the free or low cost lunch program.
The end result is detailed on another report - the student being relocated to a foster home, fortunately also in Clarksdale so he can continue at the same high school, and then no further reported incidents.
There are a few pictures of the student from different activities, saved just to document the changes in physical condition. In the ones from 2009, his clothes are threadbare and torn in places and he looks a little haggard, too-skinny, and sullen. In the pics dated after the 2010 relocation to foster care, he looks well-fed, well-dressed, and much, much happier, a giant, genuine grin on his face in most of them. In one of them he's holding a video camera and standing around with a group labeled the "Clarksdale High School Video Production Club."
The address is listed as changed from what's on the form to: 150 Lexington Ave, Clarksdale, NJ 08005
