ALLEN, Texas — Allen Independent School District is under federal investigation after a civil rights complaint was filed against the district in late 2022.
Christina Cabral-Arredondo, 45, said the district discriminated against her 5-year-old son Nicholas Arredondo, who has thrombocytopenia-absent radius syndrome. She said the discrimination occurred when she enrolled him in an early childhood program for disabled students.
The rare birth defect puts Arredondo at a high risk for internal bleeding and hemorrhaging, Cabral-Arredondo said. He’s also missing his arm bones, knee joints and shoulder blades.
