Re: 504 violation?????????????? what to do!!!!!???!!?!??!?

[Guest guest]

I'm so sorry about what they are doing to you. I wish I knew more about private

schools and the way they work. I can't see them doing this to you since you are

keeping up with your grades. I hope this problem will work out.

504 violation?????????????? what to do!!!!!???!!?!??!?

My grandparents went to my school because the principal had requested a meeting

and what happened was they told me that I don’t have to do any more make-up

work but I cannot come back to the school next year because they can’t meet my

medical needs Isn’t this illegal? Why would they have the guts to do this when

they sat down and wrote a 504 with us?! Please tell me what you think I am

heartbroken I have been at this school since I was in kindergarden and now I

cant come??? This has to be against the law and if it is not than this is just

not right. thanks

I don't know the legallity of what they are doing, but it is definately WRONG!

You have a whole group of angry on-line moms behind you and it sounds like your

Grandparents aren't going to stand by and let you be mistreated like this. I

like 's (I think it was ) idea to let the press know what's going on -

might want to have another meeting to discuss first, but if they continue their

stance and you still want to attend, let your local newspaper and other families

know! Go, Shea, GO!

Try contacting your local news station too.  Usually they promote on your side

stuff to get things resolved, which could also embarrass the school.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and play devil's advocate. If you

want to fight this, by all means do, but think first if you have the

emotional resources to do so and not jeopardize your health. We have

a slightly similar issue and my doc wisely said: is this where you

really want to be putting your energies right now? We decided to give

the insurance company an opportunity t cooperate before we turned to

the legal measures, and I'm glad we did.

I'm not by any means saying don't fight. I'm just saying think

first. Try to have a second, calmer meeting with the school and find

out what the real hurdles are--ask for the specific accommodations

they don't think they can provide. You may discover a middle ground

neither party thinks is there. We met with our son's principal and

talked in advance about which teachers would best be able to handle

his high amount of absences. Some teachers--like you've experienced--

aren't suited to this. I'd strongly advise having a second, calmer

conversation before you call the media. No one wins when backed up

against a wall, so try to talk first if you think you can do it.

On a purely practical level, your case with the media will be much

stronger if you go to them after you've attempted to have a reasonable

conversation with the school. And it wouldn't hurt to casually drop

that you've had many friends offer to take your case to the media.

We, for example, casually mentioned that we had a high powered

attorney in the family who was chomping at the bit to defend his

relative " but we are hoping it doesn't come to that. "

Hope this helps. You're wounded, and you have every right to be hurt,

but don't let that allow you to lash out in a way that won't lead to a

solution.
