A Falmouth District Court judge has ordered verdicts of not guilty on both charges against Mashpee schools Superintendent Brian Hyde related to an unannounced residency check at a student's home.

FALMOUTH — A Falmouth District Court judge has ordered verdicts of not guilty on both charges against Mashpee schools Superintendent Brian Hyde related to an unannounced residency check at a student's home.

On the second day of his trial, Judge Mary Orfanello ruled Hyde was not guilty on charges of misdemeanor trespass and breaking and entering to commit a misdemeanor. He was accused of entering a Windsor Way house without permission to do a residency check on Isabel King, who had been trying to re-enroll at Mashpee Middle-High School after spending several months in Florida.

The case was being heard by a jury, but in a directed verdict a judge orders the finding, saying no reasonable jury could reach a decision to the contrary.

The judge said there was no evidence Hyde was forbidden to enter the house. The courtroom erupted in applause when she issued her rulings on the two charges.

Earlier Wednesday, a paramedical examiner for a life insurance company who was checking Marilyn King's mother Sept. 29 testified that Hyde's demeanor was "forceful" when he entered the King home that morning.

Hyde and a school resource officer parked along the street and Hyde knocked at the front door, examiner Malee Pratt said. After King’s mother opened the door a crack and asked if she could help him, he took a step into the house, Pratt said.

When King, who was halfway down the stairs, saw Hyde, whom Pratt said she did not know, she called out, "why is he here?" Pratt said.

On Tuesday, King testified that Hyde asked her where her daughter slept and she pointed upstairs.

Pratt said Hyde went upstairs for no more than five minutes before returning to the living room.

She said she asked him if it was normal protocol for Mashpee school employees to go to such lengths to make sure a student lived in the town.

Hyde's attorney Drew Segadelli asked Pratt if she knew the history of the Kings lying about their residency before Hyde came to the house. She said she did not.

He then asked how Pratt would have known that Hyde was making a home visit if she did not know the background of the enrollment issues at the time.

Pratt was unable to give a direct answer before additional questions were asked.

An interpreter did not show up at court for the second day in a row, but Pratt testified that she was able to speak with King's mother, Erlinda Valle, who is Filipino, in English. It was decided to proceed with Valle as a witness without an interpreter.

Hyde has been on paid administrative leave since Nov. 5. The Mashpee School Committee was scheduled to discuss his future status at a special meeting last week, but the meeting was postponed because a board member had a medical emergency.

Thomas Scott, executive director of the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents, had sent an email to superintendents Monday asking them to show up to support Hyde.

Monomoy Regional schools Superintendent Scott Carpenter attended the trialWednesday. Dennis-Yarmouth Regional schools Superintendent Carol Woodbury was among those who attended the opening day of proceedings Tuesday.
