Josie, here are some things I have saved on the topic.

Also what you can do is call the Office of Civil Rights about it if

the school won't address it. If you complain to OCR, they *will*

investigate.

So I would address it with the school again. Then if no luck, go to

the school system office. Then state. Then OCR. By the time you

call OCR, no one can say you didn't try to resolve this directly with

them. (oh, and always document everything for future reference)

Well, links below. Hope to hear more from you!

Here's a portion of the above link:

Disability harassment under Section 504 and Title II is intimidation

or abusive behavior toward a student based on disability that creates

a hostile environment by interfering with or denying a student's

participation in or receipt of benefits, services, or opportunities

in the institution's program. Harassing conduct may take many forms,

including verbal acts and name-calling, as well as nonverbal

behavior, such as graphic and written statements, or conduct that is

physically threatening, harmful, or humiliating.

When harassing conduct is sufficiently severe, persistent, or

pervasive that it creates a hostile environment, it can violate a

student's rights under the Section 504 and Title II regulations. A

hostile environment may exist even if there are no tangible effects

on the student where the harassment is serious enough to adversely

affect the student's ability to participate in or benefit from the

educational program. Examples of harassment that could create a

hostile environment follow............

When disability harassment limits or denies a student's ability to

participate in or benefit from an educational institution's programs

or activities, the institution must respond effectively. Where the

institution learns that disability harassment may have occurred, the

institution must investigate the incident(s) promptly and respond

appropriately.
