RE: brother withdrawn from school

education at all for at least that long. What are the options here?>>

Start with the principal of the high school and mention that these actions

violate several laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act. Go to the

district superintendent and the county and state departments of education.

Go to the District Attorney's office and the local news media as well. Make

this as public as you can. An attorney that specializes in education law

would be helpful too.

Talk to someone at the SD office, not the schools. Someone there can

set up an home-study program or get your brother re-instated at old

school until the transfer is done.

Start w/ special edcation programmer/coordinator...if they can't

help talk to the Special Education Director...if they can't help

talk to the SD supervisor.

Best of luck!

Hi all,

My brother will be attending his new school tomorrow. HOORAY!

The IEP meeting was today.(I had thought it wasn't until Friday) It

was almost nice to see people other than myself or my step-mom

squirm. Just a few key words and references to laws and got

what he needed. They were actually scared. even through one

guy out of the room!

is usually a very complacent person, but she had her mother

tiger claws ready this time. I helped her last night to formulate a

plan and gave her the information and she was able to follow through

and have a positive outcome. Knowledge really is power. Thank you to

all who responded with info and support. , and I all

appreciate it.

Sorry,

I am behind on posts here, but boy am I glad that you guys got that all

straightened out!!! There is no reason for something like that to happen in

such a way as to cause that much unnecessary turmoil and stress. Transitions

need to be well planned and ALL sides need to be informed and prepared...

and somewhat in agreement as to how it is going to be done!!! Sorry you had

to go through that...

~hugs~
