Chapter 23 - Sarah’s Testimony

State legislators held hearings on student medical autonomy in private schools.
Sarah was invited.
She almost declined.
Then Harper Lane’s mother called.
“Go.”
So Sarah went.
She described the field day without dramatizing it.
The bottle.
The warning.
The assault.
The altered portal.
Then she explained the larger problem.
“The dangerous part was not one angry father. It was a culture where too many adults believed health restrictions were negotiable when they interfered with performance.”
Lawmakers asked about donor influence.
Sarah answered.
About electronic records.
She answered.
About staffing.
She emphasized that underfunded nursing systems made safeguards fragile.
Her testimony contributed to statewide guidance strengthening control over school medical records and requiring clearer separation between health decisions and athletic administration.
Not a perfect law.
Not a cinematic solution.

But something tangible.
