NYOS administrators respond to the police investigation involving a student's death.

Seven-year-old Tevin Park-Flowers died in February after he was found unconscious, hanging from a bathroom hook. The police report was released just last week. 

Tevin Park-Flowers died eight months ago after he was found hanging from a hook a bathroom wall inside NYOS Elementary. Now that the police report is out--school officials are talking.

"It appears that we will never know the exact sequence of events, and this is a painful reality, not only for Tevin's family but for us as well," NYOS Governing Council Chair Susana Hildebrand said. 

Susana Hildebrand, Chair of the NYOS Governing Council, read a prepared statement Monday. Police told her of a game children would play in the bathroom where Tevin was found. In the police report, a child described it as the 'run and jump game' where students jumped on a bench to try and touch the ceiling.

"After learning about the game, school teachers and staff instructed their students on bathroom safety, including to refrain from playing this game," Hildebrand said. 

Hildebrand also said the bathroom hooks and doors were removed and a buddy system was put in place.

"The Austin police investigative report confirms our investigator's findings that NYOS is a safe place for our children," she said.  

"I didn't see anything in the police report that indicated NYOS was a safe or unsafe place," said attorney Dan Ross, who represents Tevin's family and is considering a lawsuit.  “It is unacceptable to the family to have them say that well, we're never know what happened to their son and why he died maybe he was playing a game," Ross said. 

When KVUE News met with Tevin's family in August, they described the pain of not knowing.

"How long, how, why was no one there for that long," said Tevin's mom, Felicia Williams. 

Hildebrand would not answer any specific questions. She said she would give Tevin's family the first opportunity to do that. 

Last week a Travis County judge gave Tevin's family and attorney permission to take statements from school administrators under oath. That will happen within the next 45 days.
