Is this legal?!?!? Need assistance and community support here.

[Guest guest]

I have a 16 year old son who just began 10th grade in Biloxi, MS. He was

diagnoised around the age of 8 with Aspergers Syndrome and a mild level of ADD.

The Asperger's is considered a severe level disability. Last year, we managed

to go completely mainstream in regular classes with the exceptions of two

period teacher-assisted study halls, which was later dropped to oen period of

teacher-assisted study hall during the year. All other accomodations are along

the lines of more time for tests, printed study guides, a map of the building,

and noise-blocking headgear -- his hearing is extremely sensitive. It does

make for some accomodation

School is only 1 1/2 weeks in session for this area. Aug 14, the principle

removed from drivers ed stating that he posed a danger to himself and

others - no teacher would teach the class for him. The credit is divided

according to their student handbook as 12 hours classroom material, 20+ hours

of the simulator, and 3 hours of drive time behind the wheel.

I am seeking all help I can find on determination of his rights to take

Drivers Education. The Mississippi Board of Education has not responded, but

they were only contacted yesterday (Mon, Aug 14th). If you can aid in this

matter please contact me at 228-388-2112.

The school attends is Biloxi High School, on County Mississippi.

Principle is Pam Manners.

Thank You for your assistance.
