Vent about the school district !

[Guest guest]

I am going into due process. At first I was going to keep my child at

home and school and the longer I thought the madder I got.

1. The district decided to move my child without a placement ARD.

2. The new location did not have the restroom in the classroom as

specified in the IEP.

3. After installing a bathroom as I had sent a letter for

Mediation to TEA, they left no room for the sensory lab that is

documented and listed in the IEP.

4. There was not enough room left to put in a desk with the study

carrel in the room.

5. Teacher had not been trained in the ABLLS curriculum as specified

in the IEP.

6. I have taken him to his developmental peditrican and he has gained

18 months since last June. She is recommending that he be placed

in a private ABA school.

I appreciate the information about the FERPA and I will start that

now as I am sure that everyone is very upset with me at the moment

but they will get over it.
