My name is Eric Medlin and I have lived in Lincoln County for about 2 years now.
I had kids enrolled in each of the schools in Panaca, but I have since withdrew them. Here's why.
October 20th - November 1st
My son was experiencing medical symptoms and missed some school. This was pretty serious and resulted in a trip to the hospital.
All of these absences should have been excused but only some of them were in the schools system.

November 1st - 15th
My mom got sick and wasn't recovering so she went to see a doctor 2 times, and one resulted in a positive you know what test...
November 15th - 25th
Both Andrew and I got sick with similar symptoms as my mom. During this time Marty Soderborg "the High School Principal" sent me an email inquiring about Andrew missing school.
This is my reply to him letting him know what is going on.

Late November Early December
My mom finally recovered from being sick and went to the school to make sure all of Andrew's absences had been excused because I was getting truancy notices in the mail.
January 26th
After having such a bad experience with this and other things at the High School I decided to withdraw my son from public school and put him in an accredited online school.
I withdrew him and signed him up for the new school on the same day so there was no gap.

March 18th
Marty Soderborg is sworn in under the penalty of PERJURY to report that I should be charged with crimes relating to Truancy.
In his report he said that Andrew had unexcused absences and that I withdrew him from school and "has not re-enrolled A.M. in any educational entity, school or program."
I have provided evidence that I did enroll him in school and that there was no gap. I'm not an attorney but that seems like a big lie under oath. In my opinion Marty Soderborg should be removed from the school and arrested for PERJURY.

April 17th - Easter Sunday
A sheriff drives up to my house, so I rush my kids inside ruining the fun day we were having by serving me with a summons. To my surprise I have no time to prepare for this.

I am booked into the county jail and released. Thank you for that Marty.. I have a long memory.

I have court.
I am calling on Marty Soderborg to publicly defend his actions, withdraw his false testimony and resign from the High School.
