Pending Verification
Research leads — not yet on the evidence pages.
These are reported items. They are not on the schools, evidence, or responses pages until the documentation listed in each row is on file. We publish this so the public can see what we are working on without it leaking into the verified record.
Read this first. Nothing below is being asserted as fact. Items here are at one of two stages: verification in progress (we know what to look for) or source needed (we do not yet know where the documentation lives). Have one of these documents? Email dycdparentaction@gmail.com.
