In the state of Texas…?
Does a public school have the right to take your property and charge you 15$ to get it back?
Isin’t this just like taking someones Glasses and saying “You are not allowed to have them back unitl you give me 15$, In the mean time these glasses belong to me”
If you’re asking if a certain person in authority has certain powers, you should be more specific. Was this a teacher? What are the rules of the School?
