Just FYI. Todd Starnes is probably the biggest "fake news" columnist at Fox. He consistently writes inaccurate stories, makes them overly dramatic, and too often only presents one side of the story without much effort put into the other side.

So the source is definitely important, especially since there is no other source or anyone of the 1200+ students' parents confirming the story.
I mean isn't it odd this parent started with Starnes? Isn't it also odd that the snapshot of the letter doesn't show any official letterhead, signature, etc. that would at least me it look like it's an official letter from the school.

And furthermore, if they had written the letter and sent it to a bunch of parents, then it makes no sense to completely deny something that would have irrefutable proof IF it was legitimate:
It's an outright refusal, for something that would make things worse IF they had actually sent a letter.

“Our school division does not have, nor has it ever had, any policy that utilizes race for enrollment into honors or AP courses. All students, regardless of race, must meet academic criteria to enroll in advanced level coursework. Over the past years, the School Board has continued its focus on providing advanced level coursework as well as increasing advanced course offerings across a variety of disciplines. The School Board has not contemplated, nor adopted, any policy or practice that utilizes race in determining which students can or cannot take such courses, or any other courses for that matter,” the spokesperson said.
